Kings' Terry to sit out rest of season to rehab knee

The Sacramento Kings announced that newly-acquired guard Jason Terry will spend the remainder of this season rehabilitating his left knee, according to Kings General Manager Pete D’Alessandro.

“Our focus remains on reinventing this franchise and building a foundation for future success,” said D’Alessandro. “Affording Jason time to rehab during the balance of this season allows him to return at full strength next year while giving our younger players the minutes and experience needed to help us improve as a team going forward.”

Terry, a 15-year NBA veteran, has accrued career averages of 15.4 points , 2.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.31 steals and 32.5 minutes per game in 1136 contests.
