Potential return of Omri Casspi relief for #SacKings http://bit.ly/1G4XvnJ #NBA #KingsTalk #Kings @CSNAuthentic

let's hope this time around he can stay healthy and no more mishaps occur....we need his energy and tenacity off the bench.

Excellent. We've missed him A LOT in the last few weeks as a quality/consistent bench presence. Should help quite a bit with adding him to Carl and getting back a quality 7-man rotation that we had at the beginning of the year

His absence has played a big part in this teams struggles. Even when his game isn't on his energy level is contagious. Hurry back Omni!

A welcome and timely addition!
I hope he's in good shape and stuck in "Casspi-Mode".
We really needed his spark in the last game.

Speaking of Omri:
Looking at our advanced stats
(Hey, don't even try to hint that it makes me FO-oriented! Unlike the popular belief, PDA did not invent advanced stats, nor does he own them )
I noticed that he is 2nd on the team in WS/48 (win shares per 48 minutes)!
(Source: Basketball Reference)

Now, I have no idea how they calculate this measure, but I see that Casspi contributes 1.48 win-shares per 48 minutes of play - second only to DMC with 1.80!
His WS/48 value is even higher than that of Collison (1.41) and Gay (1.33)!
That's impressive, IMHO.

(BTW, this is quite consistent. It's not a matter of other players losing grounds lately after the Malone firing while Omri is on the injury list. I noticed that Casspi is #2 on that stat much earlier in the season - as far as 20 games ago at least).

The Kings just announced few minutes ago that Casspi will be listed as probable for tonight's game, Landry, Sessions and Rudy Gay will be listed as out for tonight's game.

Casspi will have to bring his energy and enthusiasm tonight, the Kings need to beat the Heat.

Couldn't have come at a better time with Rudy out. Welcome back Omri!
