The Sacramento Kings have hired Otis Hughley as an assistant coach.

"It's an exciting time," Hughley said. "I'm looking forward to being with an organization that?s proven and that's exhibited class. I?m really looking forward to working with Coach Westphal and his staff."

Hughley had coached at LeFlore High School in Mobile, Ala. for seven years (2004-2010), guiding the Rattlers to six straight regional appearances and a 6A state title in 2007. While at LeFlore, he coached current Kings center Demarcus Cousins.

Injury Means Team USA Likely To Cut Evans

Jul 25, 2010 10:12 AM

Tyreke Evans, the NBA's reigning Rookie of the Year, sprained his ankle and missed Team USA's final three practices and Saturday's game in Las Vegas.

Evans said Friday that because of the injury he didn't expect to survive the team's impending cut and USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo appears to agree.

Colangelo said that Evans being cut is "pretty obvious."

"It was a bad break for him," Colangelo said of Evans. "He's a terrific kid. He's certainly part of our group and our team. We'll be looking at him down the road (in future summers) in all probability."
