Harry Giles had an unconventional second year in the league headlined by the Sacramento Kings declining his third-year team option whilst contradictorily claiming that Giles was part of their future plans.
James Ham of NBC Sports recently shed a bit of light on the decision-making process from the Kings’ perspective.
Giles went home last summer and according to multiple sources, the team was unhappy about the work that he put in. First, he wasn’t available to play in the California Classic and when he showed up to training camp, his knee swelled up on the first day and the Kings shut him down.
