Dylan Cardwell sidelined at least two weeks with calf strain
Sacramento Kings center Dylan Cardwell has a left calf strain and will be out for at least two weeks.
The team announced the diagnosis after an MRI, and Cardwell had already missed a preseason game because of the injury.
He is expected to miss at least the start of the regular season, with Sacramento opening against the Clippers on Oct.
21.
Another center, Maxime Raynaud is also expected to miss at least two weeks with a right knee injury.
The absences leave the Kings with fewer options behind starting center Domantas Sabonis, including Precious Achiuwa and two-way player Jonathan Mogbo.
Cardwell averaged 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks last season, his rookie year, and the team will have to manage its center options while both players are out.
