Rudy Gay suffers concussion in loss to Grizzlies
Sacramento Kings small forward Rudy Gay suffered a concussion during Monday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Gay will miss Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets and won't be able to return until he passes the NBA's concussion protocol.
Karl said he expects Rudy Gay to be out at least 4-5 days as he undergoes concussion protocol.

He exited the contest prematurely after taking an inadvertent elbow to the head from Marc Gasol.
"I just blacked out a little bit," Gay told reporters. "I know it wasn't malicious at all. Me and Marc are really good friends."
Memphis topped Sacramento, 97-83, to reclaim first place in the Southwest Division.
Gay dropped a game-high 24 points on 10-of-18 shooting from the field in 29 minutes before leaving. He ranks second on the team in scoring, averaging 20.8 points per game and 5.9 rebounds.
