Kings' Gay, Collison playing Friday against Spurs

After being listed as questionable for most of the day, Sacramento Kings small forward Rudy Gay and point guard Darren Collison have apparently seen last-minute improvements in their health, and both are  back in the starting lineup Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs. 

Collison has been dealing with a bruised right quad while Gay is suffering from tendinitis in his right Achilles, and both have missed the Kings' last two games.   

The Kings split those two games, one of which was an impressive road win over the New Orleans Pelicans. But with DeMarcus Cousins being ruled out with a viral illness on Friday, the Kings needed Gay and Collison to have any hope of toppling the Spurs.
