"Chuck Hayes returned to the Kings' lineup Saturday night when they played the Utah Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena.

He might not be back for long. Hayes left the game with 4.2 seconds to play, holding his arm in pain. He had missed the previous 11 games after dislocating his left shoulder Jan. 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Hayes was holding his left arm as he left the floor after committing a foul in the Kings' 96-93 loss. He had eight rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes.

Kings coach Keith Smart said he didn't know the extent of Hayes' injury and that the team would have more information today.

Hayes left the arena without his arm in a sling.

Smart welcomed Hayes back as an extension of the coaching staff on the court and credited Hayes with helping the Kings rally from 13 points down in the fourth quarter.

"As we went through our personnel (Saturday) morning, Chuck's sitting on the side and really helping communicate what certain players can do, and that's what you need from a veteran on a young ballclub," Smart said."
