McLemore Enjoying Breakout Season For Kings

McLemore has been one of the NBA's most durable players since he entered the league three years ago. The former first-round pick appeared in all 82 games each of his first two seasons and had kept the streak going this season before missing Sacramento's Feb. 1 game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Kings need to take precautions with their 22-year-old star, who is in the midst of a breakout season. McLemore is shooting a career-high 45.1 percent from the field, including 37.2 percent from three-point range. His scoring average is down from last season, but he's become a more efficient offensive weapon for the Kings.
