Sacramento Kings Official Media Release
KINGS REQUEST WAIVERS ON FUNDERBURKE
February 23, 2004
SACRAMENTO, CALIF. – Sacramento Kings President of Basketball Operations
Geoff Petrie announced today that the club has requested waivers on
veteran forward Lawrence Funderburke.
Funderburke, who has spent his entire seven-year NBA career as a member of
the Kings, had the longest running tenure of any of the players on the
current Sacramento roster. He played an integral role in the Kings' recent
success of becoming a perennial playoff team.
Funderburke underwent surgery on his left Achilles tendon during this past
off-season, which has forced him to be sidelined up until this point.
Originally selected by Sacramento out of Ohio State in the second round
(51st overall) of the 1994 NBA Draft, Funderburke opted to play professio
-nally in Europe following his collegiate career. The Kings retained his
rights and signed him to a two-year contract in 1997. Sacramento re-signed
Funderburke to a multi-year deal before the start of the 1999-00 campaign.
One of the most community conscience players in the NBA, Funderburke
established the Lawrence Funderburke Youth Organization in 2000 with a
primary goal of motivating kids to continue their education and live
their lives with a positive purpose. He was named winner of the NBA’s
first-ever Hometown Hero of the Month community service award (12/5/00).
In helping the Kings advance to the playoffs in each of the past five
seasons, Funderburke has amassed career averages of 6.4 points (.506 FG%,
.118 3FG%, .676 FT%), 3.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 316 games during
his seven NBA campaigns.
