Cauley-Stein played 25 minutes in Thursday's 102-94 loss to the Magic, providing four points (2-5 FG), one rebound and one steal.

Cauley-Stein didn't see the floor at all in the Kings' previous game against the Heat on Tuesday, but that may have just been a result of Miami running more lineups that included stretch-four types. The second-year center was able to reenter the rotation Thursday against a Magic squad boasting fewer outside shooting threats, but was unable to take advantage of the season-high minutes load, failing to block a shot while committing four fouls. Starter Kosta Koufos looks to be coach Dave Joerger's most-trusted option at center for now, with Cauley-Stein seemingly not making much of a push to displace Koufos from the lineup.
