Kings take Aaron Brooks out of the rotation

Kings coach Keith Smart has used Isaiah Thomas and Jimmer Fredette as his two point guards in the last two games, leaving Aaron Brooks on the bench.

"I couldn't play all three of them," Smart said. "(So I'm going to) try to play two guys and keep it consistent."

Fredette usually has been the odd man out lately, but he played 13 minutes Monday night in the Kings' 98-91 overtime loss to the Utah Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena.

Brooks has gone from starter to backup to observer.

Since logging 27 minutes in a blowout loss at Denver on Jan. 26, Brooks has played 13 minutes. He has sat out the last two games and three of the last five.
