Temple tallied 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and three steals across 28 minutes in Saturday's 117-91 loss to the Bucks.

Temple has been working as the Kings' second-string point guard through the first seven games of the season behind starter Ty Lawson, but because of the blowout nature of the contest, he actually received more playing time Saturday than Lawson (20 minutes) while coach Dave Joerger looked to limit the workload for his top unit on the front end of a back-to-back set. He used the extra minutes to churn out his first game with double-digit scoring since the season opener, and also turned in a season-high total in the assists and steals columns. Darren Collison is set to return from an eight-game suspension Tuesday against the Pelicans and should immediately reclaim the starting role at point guard, but that won't necessarily push Temple out of the rotation while he drops to third on the depth chart at point guard. Because Temple can also slot in at shooting guard and provide value on the defensive end, he doesn't figure to lose out on much playing time with Collison's arrival. Instead, it's Lawson who will likely see the greater reduction in role.
