Kings' Martin will be out 2 months

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento Kings leading scorer Kevin Martin will be sidelined for about two months after deciding to undergo surgery on his injured wrist.

The team said Friday that Martin will have the operation on his left wrist on Monday and is expected to miss at least eight weeks. Martin has a hairline fracture in his wrist.

Martin is averaging 30.6 points a game for the Kings, who have lost four of five games to open the season.

Beno Udrih is expected to replace Martin in the starting lineup for tonight's road game against Utah.

BULLS' THOMAS SUFFERS BROKEN ARM: Chicago Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas broke his left forearm during a weight training session Friday and will have surgery Saturday. He could miss 4-6 weeks.

In four games this season, the fourth-year player from LSU is averaging eight points and five rebounds in 21 minutes.

Thomas, who had been battling the flu, played only 12 minutes in Chicago's victory at Cleveland on Thursday.

With Thomas out, rookie Taj Gibson is expected to take over as a starter.

LEBRON NOT FOCUSING ON FREE AGENCY:LeBron James thinks his present is too good to spend time worrying about his future.

James said Friday he has no timetable for deciding what he will do next summer. The NBA's MVP said it will be his first time getting to be an unrestricted free agent, so he's not going to rush any decision.

Nor will he even consider it for a while. Not with the Cavaliers on the short list of legitimate contenders to win a title this season.

"For me, honestly, I think this season is going to be really good and I feel like our team is set to where we can play really deep into the playoffs and possibly contend for the NBA championship," James said. "So mainly that's the main thing that I'm focused on now."

The Cleveland All-Star can opt for free agency on July 1, but said before playing the Knicks he isn't sure what he will do in the days that follow.

"I don't know because it's the first time I'll be in this position, being an unrestricted free agent. I haven't been there yet, so I don't know," James said. "There's no timetable. I'm not going to rush it, I'm definitely going to stay in shape and stay in the gym next summer like I've always done and we'll see what happens."
