Kings' Karl out Thursday for cancer procedure

Kings coach George Karl said he’s having a medical procedure Thursday related to cancer in his throat and that he will miss the day’s practice.

Karl, a two-time cancer survivor, addressed his health in an interview with The Bee after Wednesday’s 120-111 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Sleep Train Arena.

He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005 and with treatable neck and throat cancer in 2010.
