In an already bad season plagued by injuries, losing a major rookie powerhouse like Maxime Raynaud would be the proverbial final nail in the coffin. Fortunately, it looks like Raynaud is relatively okay after the game against the Suns and will continue to play. That's as good as it gets for the Kings.
According to a league source, Maxime Raynaud’s MRI showed no structural damage and he is going to be listed as available for tomorrow’s game. Kings dodged a bullet. Some good news in Sacramento.

Raynaud has quickly exploded as the top rookie on the Kings, carving out a spot on the Kia Rookie Ladder.
