Geroge Karl is expected to be named head coach of the Sacramento Kings following the All-Star break.

The parties, sources said, were still working Tuesday on the finer deal points of an expected four-year contract that will formally establish Karl as Tyrone Corbin's successor and Sacramento's third coach of the season starting next week.

Sources say Corbin was informed Monday by team officials that the Kings' games Tuesday and Wednesday in Chicago and Milwaukee would likely be his last two in charge.
