Kings' Ty Lawson: Upgraded to questionable Sunday vs. Pelicans

Lawson (leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, James Ham of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

Lawson was deemed doubtful with a strained left adductor muscle ahead of Friday's game against the Hawks before ultimately sitting out, so his questionable tag heading into Sunday represents an upgrade. The Kings desperately need Lawson's presence in the backcourt with Garrett Temple (hamstring) out, as starter Darren Collison is the only other healthy point guard on the roster. If Lawson is unable to give it a go, expect Collison to take on another huge workload after logging 44 minutes Friday.
