What's the time table on his return?
Now he's probably not going to opt out of his contract this summer. Not sure who else was going to sign with the Kings, but that takes up $14m in cap room.
Also that can be career ending, even if it's not literally career ending. How much worse could this make Gay when he eventually comes back? If he does suit up for the Kings next year, he probably doesn't put up anywhere close to the 19/6/3 he's putting up now.
I never know what to think with the Kings though. Like, in their minds, it'll probably be this Rudy Gay injury that cost them the playoffs, so let's bring it all back again next year because as long as we're healthy, we're a playoff team!
