Minor Injuries Continue to Plague Gay
Gay has suffered a few minor injuries this season that have kept him out a few games, but not for significant stretches. The Kings, however, have held their own in Gay's absences—going 4-1 in games he's missed.
Gay is averaging 17.9 points per game this season, second-highest on the team, but his output is his lowest since 2012-13 with the Memphis Grizzlies. The drop-off, albeit slight from his career average of 18.5 points per game, has been affected by the addition of Rajon Rondo, who has helped free up the offense.
The Kings aren't true title contenders in the competitive Western Conference, but merely hovering near a playoff spot is a true accomplishment for a team that has occupied the league cellar most of the past five seasons.
