If it were not for bad luck, Carl Landry would not have had any luck at all in the 2013-14 NBA season. Landry began the season with an injured left hip flexor that kept him in rehabilitation mode until mid-season. His return to the lineup was seen as a major positive for the struggling Kings.
Now, Landry faces a season ending injury. A MRI has revealed that he has a tear of the medial meniscus in his right knee. Landry has been shut down for the rest of the season and faces a surgery in the very near future.
The forward is a six year veteran of the NBA and is in his second stint as a member of the Kings. Landry played last season with the Golden State Warriors and signed with Sacramento as a free agent in the off season. He averaged 4.2 points (.517 FG%, .824 FT%) and 3.2 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game in his 18 appearances this season.
Kings sign Orlando Johnson to a second 10 day contract
The Kings have announced the signing of guard Orlando Johnson to a second 10 day contract. Sacramento signed him to the first 10 day commitment on February 26.
Johnson is averaging 1.8 points, 0.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 9.0 minutes of playing time in five games coming off the bench. He began the season with the Indiana Pacers and was waived on February 20.
