Tonight (Friday Jan. 15) the Kings travel to Philadelphia to challenge the Sixers. Feel free to read my post about how to handle it when Omri comes to play against your favorite team.This game is worthy of a preview because Kevin Martin is supposed to return from his wrist injury and play in the game. Now as fans of Omri Casspi we must ask ourselves - how does this effect Omri's playing time?
First of all, if you are not a basketball addict, you should know that Kevin Martin (the Kings's best player for the past three years) and Omri play different positions. So, Martin's return to the starting lineup does not automatically force Omri to come off the bench. Moreover, since this is Martin's first game back, you wouldn't expect him to play 40 minutes. Bottom line - Omri's starting position is safe, but his minutes should be reduced.
Final note - as I previously posted, Omri's strength is his all around game not just scoring. Even if Omri loses his starting job, he could easily be a great sixth man off the bench.
