The Sacramento Kings recently made an official announcement that they will be shutting down rookie Harry Giles for the rest of the 2017-18 NBA season as he recovers from injuries.

According to a report from Ailene Voisin of the Sacramento Bee, the young forward/center has nothing negative to say on the matter.

“I just keep getting better and doing what I have to do to get on the court,” Giles said, “and I have no pain. We have a great plan. I'm up to 240 pounds, and I feel a lot stronger. I'll be ready to go for summer league.”

Giles has managed to make it in the NBA even though he has a concerning medical history — he has torn his ACL on both knees. The Kings still took a chance on him in the last draft and took Giles with the team's 20th pick.

Since then, Giles has been in a thorough healing process orchestrated by the Sacramento-based team.

“We trusted modern sports medicine,” Kings assistant general manager Brandon Williams said. “That was the start of it. We knew we had to be careful because his ceiling is so high. Until you get to know Harry, you treat him as a fragile being. ‘Banged up. Went to Duke.' We decided to wait for January, which is two years since his last [ACL] injury, and figure it out from there. What we learned these last few weeks was that the ACL is healed. Then the question became, ‘Do we push it?'”

The Kings don't need to rush things. They are 13-31 on the season, which is enough to be the last seed in the West. Putting Giles on the roster and risking him will not salvage the season in any way.

The Kings are doing the right thing here in taking things methodically and cautiously. And apparently, Giles is sharing the same mentality.
