With Garcia out, team must count on Casspi

The Kings appeared to have found stability at small forward with Francisco García in the starting lineup.

García, however, again aggravated his left calf strain in Thursday's practice. García missed his third consecutive game with the injury Friday night against the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena.

With García no longer day-to-day with the injury, Kings coach Paul Westphal started Omri Casspi in García's spot.

García said he expected to miss two weeks.

"I thought we were playing well and winning games with Tyreke (Evans) healthy and 'Cisco starting at that spot," Westphal said. "It seemed like we had settled into a good thing."

In games García and Evans started together, the Kings were 4-4.

Westphal hoped to not disrupt the rotation if García would be back soon by starting Donté Greene twice. With that not the case, Westphal is going with Casspi and hopes he finds his shooting touch.

"We need him to have a hot streak now," Westphal said of Casspi.
