The Sacramento Kings offered promising updates regarding the rehabilitation progress of two key players dealing with injuries.
Orlando Robinson, the team’s versatile big man, has been recovering from a left MCL sprain he sustained on October 3 during training camp. This injury initially sidelined him, but Robinson has made significant strides in his recovery over the past month.
The team’s medical staff has now cleared him for contact practices, indicating he is ready to start ramping up his activity level.
Robinson’s return to contact drills is a positive step toward him rejoining the active lineup, though the Kings are proceeding cautiously and will continue to evaluate him closely.
Fans can expect a detailed update on Robinson’s status within the next few days as he works to regain full game readiness.
Additionally, the Kings provided an update on their highly anticipated rookie, first-round pick Devin Carter. Carter has been in a lengthy recovery process after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder in July.
This surgery required a considerable rehabilitation period, with the initial recovery timeline set at six months.
Carter recently had his four-month post-surgery follow-up with a specialist, and the results were encouraging: he has been cleared to begin unrestricted shooting, allowing him to resume important aspects of his training regimen.
This clearance marks a crucial phase in Carter’s progress, as he gradually rebuilds his shooting form and confidence on the court.
The Kings plan to provide further updates on his condition in January, as he approaches the final stages of his recovery and gears up to potentially join the team lineup later in the season.
