SACRAMENTO, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Chris Webber had to be carried off the court with a sprained left ankle in the first quarter Sunday night in Sacramento's 107-88 exhibition victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
The most coveted free agent on this summer's market, Webber finally opted to re-sign with the Kings for $123 million over seven years. Last season, he averaged 27.1 points and 11.1 rebounds per game and led the franchise to its first playoff series win in 20 years.
Webber slipped on a wet spot under Sacramento's basket and went down. He was carried off the court by teammates Scot Pollard and Lawrence Funderburke. The All-Star power forward will have precautionary x-rays and sit out several days.
The Kings scored 99 points through three quarters and built a 31-point lead. They scored just eight points in the final period and still cruised to their second win in three games.
Peja Stojakovic scored 21 points and Vlade Divac added 16 and 10 rebounds for Sacramento, which shot 51 percent from the field. Point guards Mike Bibby and Bobby Jackson scored 15 and 13 points.
Kings rookie forward Gerald Wallace, their first-round pick who scored 17 points in the exhibition opener, sat out with a left ankle sprain.
Adrian Griffin scored 14 points and Khalid El-Amin added 12 for the Mavericks (2-2), who shot 47 percent. Griffin was signed as a free agent from Boston and El-Amin continues to vie for a spot on the roster as the third point guard.
