SAN ANTONIO -- Sacramento Kings coach Dave Joerger left the game after falling to one knee in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Kings said Joerger experienced a "momentary episode of lightheadedness and would not return to the game for precautionary reasons.
Joerger appeared to be experiencing some discomfort when he was shown on the scoreboard during pregame introductions.
When Joerger fell to one knee, he was shouting instructions to players on the court, and was immediately helped back to his feet by assistant coach Elston Turner, before he was taken from the bench area back to the visitors' locker room.
