Kayte Christensen: Willie Cauley-Stein back in uniform tonight but not in the starting lineup. Spoke to him before the game, says he feels great but is concerned about his lungs tonight. He hasn’t played since March 1st and is worried a little about mile high elevation
James Ham: Willie Cauley-Stein has been ruled out for tomorrow with a lower back strain. Skal Labissiere is questionable with a sore right knee.
Sean Cunningham: Willie Cauley-Stein is out tonight–Lower back strain
Now at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, the Kings certainly could have used some juice against the Mavericks. The Kings were too slow on defense most of the night and lacked the overall energy needed to pull out a win. As for Joerger’s “mental fatigue” assessment, Cauley-Stein said it’s up to the players to figure out how to fight through it. “This many games and nights, you get mentally tired,” Cauley-Stein said. “That’s just when that extra focus comes in, extra basketball IQ. You’ve got to start outthinking people instead of trying to outplay them.”
