Rashad Returns

Just days after having to leave his best offensive game of the season with an ankle injury, Rashad was back on the floor, doing what he could to help the Sacramento Kings. 

No. 7, back in the lineup (Getty Images).

Rashad racked up 10 points in a 112-100 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, scoring eight of them in the fourth quarter.

Kings coach Kenny Natt told Rashad that his performance would dictate his playing time in the game. Rashad’s solid numbers led him to over 24 minutes on the court.

No. 7 added four rebounds and three assists.

TARHEELS ADVANCE
Rashad has another reason to smile. His alma mater, North Carolina, advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. He spent three seasons at UNC and helped bring home their first title since 1995.

Rashad and the Kings face the Memphis Grizzlies at home March 27 at 7 p.m. on CSNCA.
