SACRAMENTO, Calif. – All-Star forward Chris Webber will
miss the next four games for the Sacramento Kings because of a
sprained left ankle.
X-rays on the ankle, which Webber injured during the final
seconds of regulation Tuesday night in the Kings' 97-94 overtime
victory at Utah, did not show any broken bones.
The Kings said Webber, who missed Thursday night's game in
Portland and home games Friday against Denver, Sunday against Utah
and Tuesday against Atlanta, will have his ankle re-evaluated early
next week.
"This is going to be big for us, just to see what we can do
without him," teammate Scot Pollard said. "Hopefully, we won't
have to get used to playing without him."
Webber sprained the same ankle in a win over Dallas on Nov. 12.
The Kings beat Orlando, then lost to the Lakers by two points.
"In the past, when we've lost Chris, we've played at home, and
that's a lot easier," coach Rick Adelman said. "When you go home
you can kind of rally the troops, but playing Portland tonight,
Denver the next day and Utah (on Sunday) and going on the road
again next week, it's a much different situation."
