MIKE BIBBY

He averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 32 minutes in 65 games with the Kings. Udrih also scored a career-high 27 points against the Spurs on Nov. 26.

Bibby enters in 1st quarter in Toronto

Bibby Impresses in Practice
In the SACRAMENTO BEE, Sam Amick writes "The solution was right there. At least one of them. Mike Bibby ran as if nothing had happened, taking passes from assistant coaches after his first full-contact practice since his Oct. 27 thumb surgery and making long-range jumpers with a consistency befitting his reputation. It was earlier Monday at the Kings' practice facility, though, when he had truly impressed the teammate who wishes he could have joined him. Kevin Martin, who is at least a week away from returning from his strained right groin suffered Dec. 4, watched Bibby lead the team's second unit to a 44-28 victory." - Read More...
