Harry Giles’ rookie season with the Sacramento Kings has come to an early end after the team decided on Tuesday to shut down the rookie big man for the team’s final five games as he continues to recover from a thigh bruise he suffered last month.
Despite no reported setbacks or structural damage, the Sacramento Kings have decided to play it safe with their prized rookie. As a result, they’ll hold him out for the rest of the season, rather than risk further, more severe, injury in meaningless games after the Kings were eliminated from playoff contention Saturday.
