Kings' Garrett Temple: Out Saturday vs. Hornets

Temple (hamstring) won't play Saturday against the Hornets, James Ham of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

The Kings reevaluated Temple after the All-Star break and were still unable to flesh out a definitive timetable for his return, so it seems likely that the wing will be out for at least a few more games. Fortunately for coach Dave Joerger, the Kings are flush with depth in the backcourt and at small forward, even with Temple, Arron Afflalo (hamstring), Malachi Richardson (hamstring) and Rudy Gay (Achilles) all sidelined. Look for Ben McLemore, Ty Lawson, Buddy Hield and Tyreke Evans to pick up some additional minutes in light of all those absences.
