The Sacramento Kings might be without Domantas Sabonis because of an injury sustained in Friday’s loss to the Washington Wizards.
Sabonis exited the game with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter after attempting to chase down a rebound. Following the game, coach Mike Brown said he had no information regarding Sabonis’ status.
On Christmas Eve, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the 26-year-old big man did suffer a right-hand injury and “will undergo further testing and evaluation on treatment options.”
X-Rays after Friday’s loss to Washington confirmed the injury and need for further examination. The timeline on a return could depend on pain tolerance to continue playing, or the need to address a more serious injury with Sabonis’ hand.
