Sacramento, CA (My Sportsbook) - Sacramento Kings forward Chris Webber underwent an MRI exam for his strained lower back on Tuesday. Results of the test were negative, but Webber will continue to be evaluated on a daily basis before the Kings' next playoff game against Utah on Saturday. Webber was hurt in the second quarter of Monday's 108-95 victory over Utah in Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals when he landed awkwardly after taking a shot. Sacramento has a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, winning the first two games of a playoff series for the first time since moving to Sacramento in 1985. Webber was Sacramento's leading scorer and rebounder during the regular season, averaging 23 points and 10.5 boards in 67 contests. He scored eight points before leaving on Monday.
