The Sacramento Kings have lost one of their rotational big men. The organization announced that Alex Len will miss six to eight weeks of action due to a "moderate but stable" high ankle sprain. Len picked up the injury during the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. So far this season, he's been averaging 2.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game in just over six minutes of playing time.
Alex Len's debut EuroBasket appearance has been far from impressive. The Sacramento Kings big man is averaging 7.7 points and 7.0 rebounds in Ukraine's first three games in the tournament's group stage, hosted in Milan.
