Kings' Ty Lawson: Will not play Friday vs. Lakers

Lawson will sit out Friday's game against the Lakers for rest purposes, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento (KXTV) reports.

Analysis:

It's Lawson's second game off in a row for rest, and with the veteran point guard set to become a free agent over the summer, the rebuilding Kings don't have much incentive to find court time for him. Darren Collison will be active Friday and should return to a starting role at point guard, while Langston Galloway will likely move back to the bench and serve as Collison's primary backup.
