Domantas Sabonis Injury News & Updates

Sabonis has been diagnosed with a partially torn meniscus in his left knee and is expected to be evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Sabonis had already been ruled out for Thursday's matchup, and he's set to miss additional game action beyond Thursday while rehabbing from a partial tear in his meniscus. This opens the door for Drew Eubanks, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud to receive more looks at center.

Sabonis (knee) will not play Thursday against the Grizzlies.

Sabonis will miss his second game in a row Thursday. This update comes from the official injury report, so there's no word on how long Sacramento's franchise player could miss. His next chance to play comes Saturday against Denver. In his absence, the Kings will likely rely on Drew Eubanks and Precious Achiuwa.

Sabonis (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

The superstar big man is grabbing a seat for the first leg of Sacramento's back-to-back set. Sabonis will be trying to suit up for Thursday's clash against the Grizzlies. Drew Eubanks and Precious Achiuwa are in position to share the center minutes Wednesday.

Sabonis racked up 17 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 loss to San Antonio.

The double-double was Sabonis' second straight and ninth in 11 games, putting the 29-year-old center third in the NBA in that category behind Nikola Jokic and Karl-Anthony Towns (11 each). Sabonis has dealt with some nagging injuries to begin the campaign, but in five games since returning to the lineup from a rib issue he's averaged 20.4 points, 10.0 boards, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals.

Sabonis (ribs) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Mark Haynes of The Sacramento Observer reports.

Sabonis isn't 100 percent but will shed yet another questionable tag Sunday. He was dominant in his most recent performance Friday against the Timberwolves with a 34-point, 11-rebound double-double with three assist and one block in 39 minutes.

Sabonis is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to a left ribcage contusion.

Sabonis is coming off a 34-point, 11-rebound performance against the Timberwolves in a 124-110 loss on Friday, his eighth double-double of the season in 10 outings. The star big man has been key for the Kings despite their overall struggles, and not having him available would be critical against a rising Spurs team. If Sabonis isn't available, expect Drew Eubanks and Maxime Raynaud to see more minutes at center.

Sabonis provided 34 points (14-24 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block across 39 minutes during Friday's 124-110 loss to Minnesota.

Sabonis remains extremely consistent on both ends of the floor and recorded a double-double, his eighth of the season, after not reaching that feat in his previous two contests. The 34-point output was also a season-high mark for the big man, who managed to bounce back admirably after two below-average showings against the Nuggets and Hawks on a back-to-back set Nov. 11 and Nov. 12. Sabonis' scoring numbers might not be where they were last season, but his outstanding ability to rack up stats and tendency to gather double-doubles with ease should make him an appealing fantasy option across all slates until further notice.

Sabonis (ribs) will play in Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis is dealing with a lingering rib injury, but managed to participate in shootaround Friday morning. The star center has now been upgraded to available. After opening the season with seven consecutive double-doubles, Sabonis has failed to hit the milestone in back-to-back games. However, he played only 26 minutes in each contest, once because of foul trouble and once because of a blowout.

Sabonis (ribs) participated in Friday's morning shootaround, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis remains listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, but his availability at the morning shootaround bodes well for his status. Sabonis holds regular-season averages of 15.3 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists across nine appearances.

Sabonis (ribs) is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Sabonis missed a pair of games with a ribcage contusion earlier in the month, and the Kings continue to monitor his health. The superstar big man could go through pregame warmups before Sacramento clarifies his status. If Sabonis is unable to give it a go, Precious Achiuwa and Drew Eubanks would likely fill out the majority of the center minutes Friday.

Sabonis (ribs) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis is good to go for the second leg of a back-to-back, and he should see his usual minutes, so make sure you've got him active. With Sabonis available, Drew Eubanks is not an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.

Sabonis (ribs) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Sabonis played through a questionable tag for Tuesday's game against Denver, but now he's iffy for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Sabonis finished that contest with 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes. If he's unable to play Wednesday, guys like Drew Eubanks, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud could be more involved for the Kings.

Sabonis (ribs) is good to go for Tuesday's game against Denver, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis was able to shake off a questionable tag for this contest. The Kings are off to a shaky start, but Sabonis' production has been solid with 15.3 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists through seven regular-season appearances.

Sabonis is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets due to a left ribcage contusion.

Sabonis continues to find his name on the injury report while dealing with bruised ribs. He was able to play through the issue Sunday, tallying 20 points and 13 rebounds in 30 minutes, so there's certainly a possibility that he suits up again Tuesday night.

Sabonis closed Sunday's 144-117 loss to the Timberwolves with 20 points (5-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes.

After missing the prior two games with a rib contusion, Sabonis returned to the court no worse for wear as he produced his seventh straight double-double to begin the season. The 29-year-old center continues to see reduced distribution duties in the Kings' revamped lineup, with his 3.9 assists a game being a huge drop from last season's 6.0 per game, to say nothing of the career-high 8.2 a game he delivered in 2023-24. Sacramento's 3-7 start to the campaign has the team near the bottom of the Western Conference standings however, and a shakeup that boosts Sabonis' usage -- or sends him to another team entirely -- could be on the horizon if things don't turn around.

Sabonis (ribs) will play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis will shed his questionable tag due to a left ribcage contusion and return from a two-game absence. Over six regular-season appearances thus far, the big man has averaged 14.5 points, 14.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.7 minutes per contest.

Sabonis (ribs) is questionable to play Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Sabonis has missed the past two games after taking a Nikola Jokic elbow to the ribs Monday, which has resulted in Drew Eubanks, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud splitting the five-man minutes. It'll be more of the same if Sabonis can't give it a go Sunday, with Eubanks likely drawing another start.

Sabonis (ribs) is out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis won't play for a second straight game with an injury to his ribs. The star big man's next chance to play comes Sunday against Minnesota. Drew Eubanks figures to draw a spot start Friday, with Precious Achiuwa and Dario Saric likely to help fill out the bench minutes at center.

Sabonis (ribs) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis missed his second game of the season Wednesday due to a left ribcage contusion and is in danger of missing a third after being tagged as a game-time call for Friday's clash. The team should have a better idea of the big man's availability after he goes through shootaround and pregame warmups.

Sabonis (ribs) will not play Wednesday against Golden State, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Sabonis was unable to shake his questionable tag and will miss his first game since Opening Night. Fantasy managers can expect him to be listed as day-to-day going forward. With Sabonis sidelined Wednesday, the Kings could rely on guys like Drew Eubanks and new signing Precious Achiuwa.

Sabonis (ribs) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Golden State.

Sabonis is in danger of missing his first game since Opening Night due to a left ribcage contusion. If the star big man is unable to suit up, Drew Eubanks and Precious Achiuwa are candidates for increased playing time. Through six regular-season games, Sabonis has averaged 14.5 points, 14.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.7 minutes per contest.

Sabonis produced 24 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 37 minutes of Saturday's 135-133 win over the Bucks.

Sabonis was one of four Kings to produce at least 20 points as the franchise improved to 4-2 on the season. After missing Opening Night with a hamstring issue, Sabonis has since double-doubled in five straight contests with averages of 14.8 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals.

Sabonis registered 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to the Bulls.

This was the best assist total through four showings for Sabonis, who is typically a nightly triple-double threat. It was also his best scoring night thus far, finishing with 18 points. Carving out shots will be difficult beside Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, but Sabonis is capable of producing well-rounded box scores like this on any given night.

Sabonis ended with 10 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 18 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 107-101 loss to the Thunder.

Sabonis didn't have his cleanest outing Tuesday, shooting inefficiently and committing five turnovers, but still managed to notch his third straight double-double to start the season while grabbing a game-high 18 rebounds. The big man is the ultimate double-double threat, having recorded 61 last season and an all-time single-season record 77 in 2023-24. Through three games this year, the 29-year-old is averaging 10.7 points, 14.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals.

Sabonis contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Sunday's 127-120 loss to the Lakers.

After missing the Kings' opener due to a hamstring strain, Sabonis has recorded back-to-back double-doubles since getting back into the lineup. The 29-year-old center hasn't seen his usual distribution role so far however, recording just four assists in two games, and his days of being a consistent triple-double threat might be over so long as Dennis Schroder is handling point guard duties.

Sabonis ended with 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Jazz.

Malik Monk sent up an errant shot in the closing seconds, but Sabonis grabbed the offensive board and dropped it in the basket for the win. Although Sabonis racked up his first double-double in his season debut, his totals weren't particlarly great. It shouldn't be a cause for concern, as this is the first full-speed competition he's faced in some time. Reports will soon come regarding how his injury responded to 37 minutes of work, and it wouldn't be surprising to see some load management ahead for the center to stave off a re-aggravation of the injury.

Head coach Doug Christie said Sabonis (hamstring) won't operate under a minutes restriction in Friday's game against Utah, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis missed the Kings' season-opening loss to Phoenix due to a hamstring injury, though he'll make his season debut without a minutes restriction against the Jazz. The star big man averaged 19.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists across 34.7 minutes per contest in 70 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign.

Sabonis (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

After participating in the morning shootaround, Sabonis has been upgraded to available for his season debut Friday. There's no word about a potential minutes restriction, but it's possible the star big man could have his workload monitored after nearly a week on the shelf with a hamstring strain. Last regular season, Sabonis averaged 19.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists per contest in 70 games.

Sabonis (hamstring) participated in Friday's morning shootaround, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

The star big man's presence at shootaround bodes well for his chances of being available for Friday's game against the Jazz. Additionally, Sabonis is tracking toward suiting up, barring any setbacks during pregame warmups. If he's ultimately unable to play, Drew Eubanks would likely get the spot start down low.

Sabonis (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz.

After missing the season opener due to a hamstring injury, Sabonis appears to be trending in the right direction to make his return to the floor. Hamstring injuries can be tricky, so this is a good sign from a fantasy perspective that the veteran big man won't be out for long.

The Kings announced Saturday that Sabonis (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in one week, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Sabonis is dealing with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, so it's not the worst-case scenario for the Kings. Sabonis is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Oct. 25, effectively ruling him out for the first two games of the regular season. With Sabonis sidelined, this sets up an interesting battle between Drew Eubanks, Dario Saric and Maxime Raynaud at the center spot.

Sabonis has been diagnosed with a mild right hamstring strain and will sit out of Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Sabonis suffered the injury during Wednesday's matchup against the Clippers, and his status for the start of the 2025-26 regular season is now in question. He was unable to practice Thursday and will have just over a week to rest up ahead of the regular-season opener. The Kings could have additional updates on Sabonis' status at some point over the next few days.

Sabonis (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis didn't practice Thursday after leaving Wednesday's preseason game against the Clippers due to a right hamstring injury. The star big man underwent an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, and his status should be updated ahead of Friday's final exhibition contest. Drew Eubanks and Dario Saric are the next men up on the depth chart at center.

Sabonis has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's preseason game against the Clippers due to a right hamstring injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. He generated 15 points (7-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 24 minutes before exiting.

Sabonis departs the contest in the second half of a blowout, and while injury specifics are unknown, it's a concerning occurrence for the Kings, who'll be without Keegan Murray (thumb) to start the season. Sabonis will have an opportunity to return to the hardwood Friday against the Lakers before Sacramento kicks off the regular season Oct. 22 at Phoenix. While Sabonis is sidelined, look for Drew Eubanks and Dario Saric to see more action.

Sabonis produced eight points (3-11 FG, 2-3 FT, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot over 17 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

Sabonis started out cold and couldn't get anything going in the narrow loss, and was eventually pulled in favor of backups after racking up five fouls. His tepid showing is no cause for alarm, and it serves the Kings better to test out their bench over playing Sabonis for max minutes in the preseason. When the regular season begins, he will once again be a nightly double-double threat.

Sabonis supplied 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 FT, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two blocked shots, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 130-122 loss to the Raptors.

Sabonis' participation will be limited in the preseason, and it will be rare to see a four-rebound total once the regular season kicks into gear. A slight dip in assists hurt Sabonis' triple-double potential last season, but the talented center beat out Nikola Jokic in that category two seasons ago and is poised to have another excellent season as Sacramento's centerpiece. He averaged 19.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists over 70 games last season.

Sabonis contributed 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, six assists and three steals across 24 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 victory over Phoenix.

Sabonis logged only 24 minutes, but that was enough to give him his 61st double-double of the season, giving him the league lead in that category for the third consecutive campaign. Sabonis should be one of the Kings' go-to players in the Play-In Tournament, beginning with a matchup against the Mavericks on Wednesday, due to his elite two-way ability. He finished the campaign with 61 double-doubles in 70 games while averaging 19.1 points, 13.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists and a combined 1.1 steals-plus-blocks across 34.7 minutes per game.

Sabonis logged 19 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 101-100 loss to the Clippers.

Sabonis continues to lead the league in double-doubles with 60 in 69 appearances, and he will claim the crown in that category if he achieves that feat in Sunday's matchup against the Suns. Sabonis has been dealing with hamstring and ankle injuries of late, but the big man has been productive whenever he's stepped on the court. He's averaging 17.2 points, 12.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in his last 13 appearances, with 10 double-doubles and one triple-double in that stretch.

Sabonis closed with 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 124-116 loss to Denver.

In a clash with Nikola Jokic, Sabonis was able to come away with his NBA-leading 59th double-double, staying one double-double ahead of his Nuggets rival. Sabonis has pulled down double-digit boards in nine of 10 games since returning from an ankle injury, averaging 18.6 points, 14.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.7 steals over that stretch while shooting 56.5 percent from the floor.

Sabonis amassed 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 35 minutes during Monday's 127-117 victory over Detroit.

Sabonis racked up his 10th triple-double of the season in Monday's victory. With 67 games under his belt and three regular-season games remaining, Sabonis is on pace to return second-round value in nine-category formats with 19.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 0.9 three-pointers.

Sabonis finished Sunday's 120-113 victory over the Cavaliers with 27 points (11-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 39 minutes.

Although he turned the ball over a game-high seven times, Sabonis co-led the team in dimes and paced the club in boards while scoring an efficient 27 points against Cleveland's towering frontcourt. Sabonis is riding a six-game double-double streak, during which the All-Star big man has averaged 21.7 points on 58.4 percent shooting from the floor, 14.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes.

Sabonis closed Friday's 125-102 win over the Hornets with 24 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds and seven assists across 27 minutes.

Sabonis was dominant during this 27-minute cameo and delivered an impressive stat line, ending just three assists away from recording a triple-double and making his presence felt on both ends of the court. The star big man has finished three dimes away from a triple-double in his last two appearances, but at least he extended his double-double streak to five contests. He's currently leading the NBA in double-doubles with 57, ahead of Nikola Jokic (56), Ivica Zubac (54) and Karl-Anthony Towns (54).

Sabonis (ankle) is listed as available for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Sabonis was a late addition to the injury report due to right ankle soreness, though he'll suit up against Charlotte. The star big man has appeared in six consecutive contests following a three-game absence due to a sprained right ankle, averaging 17.2 points, 15.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists across 34.8 minutes per contest.

Sabonis is questionable for Friday's game versus Charlotte with right ankle soreness.

Sabonis was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's typically a bad sign for fantasy managers. If Sabonis is held out for maintenance on his right ankle, the Kings could turn to Jonas Valanciunas against the Hornets.

Sabonis posted 18 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 loss to the Wizards.

Sabonis finished just three assists away from recording what would've been his first triple-double since March 14, when he recorded 12 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in a loss to the Suns. Sabonis hasn't looked as dominant as last season from a statistical perspective, but he remains one of the best and most productive big men in the NBA. The statistical dropoff is noticeable, though, as he's averaging "only" 12.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game since the All-Star break.

Sabonis finished Monday's 111-109 loss to the Pacers with 25 points (11-19 FG, 3-6 FT), 16 rebounds and one steal in 40 minutes.

Sabonis held things down in the paint Monday, leading all players in rebounds while finishing second among Kings players in scoring in an impressive double-double performance. Sabonis has hauled in 15 or more boards in 24 outings this season, recording at least 25 points and 15 rebounds on five occasions.

Sabonis closed Thursday's 128-107 victory over the Trail Blazers with 22 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes.

Sabonis stuffed the stat sheet once again, recording his 53rd outing with a double-double or better across 61 regular-season appearances. Additionally, the 28-year-old logged at least 20 points for the 30th time on the season. The star big man has made three appearances following a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, during which he has averaged 15.3 points, 16.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists across 35.0 minutes per contest.

Sabonis ended with 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 17 rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Monday's 113-95 loss to the Celtics.

Following a three-game absence due to his sprained right ankle, Sabonis saw close to his usual workload Monday and seemed to be moving around fine. The Kings play again Tuesday versus the Thunder, and a maintenance day could potentially be on the table. If that happens, Jonas Valanciunas would likely jump back into the starting lineup. So far, there's been no indication of a rest day, however.

Sabonis (ankle) is available for Monday's game against Boston, Sam Amick of The Athletic reports.

Sabonis will return to action following a three-game absence due to the sprained right ankle. The star big man was expected to miss at least 10 days, but he'll make his return ahead of schedule after going through a full practice with the Kings on Sunday. However, Sabonis has played just 43 total minutes in three appearances during March, and he'll likely face restrictions against the Celtics.

Sabonis (ankle) went through a full practice Sunday and will be listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis was initially expected to miss at least 10 days due to the sprained right ankle, though the club will upgrade him to questionable after Sunday's successful practice. If the star big man remains sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest Monday, Trey Lyles and Jonas Valanciunas will likely shoulder the workload at center.

Sabonis will be re-evaluated in 10 days due to a sprained right ankle, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Sabonis suffered the injury during Monday's win over Memphis, which was just his second outing after a six-game absence streak due to a left hamstring injury. Jonas Valanciunas and Trey Lyles will likely shoulder the workload at center due to Sabonis being sidelined.

Sabonis is out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to a right ankle sprain.

After suffering the injury in Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Sabonis will need to miss at least one game. The star big man can be labeled day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Bulls. Jonas Valanciunas should join the first unit Wednesday, and he's averaged 12.0 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 26.6 minutes over six games as a starter for the Kings.

Sabonis sustained an apparent right ankle injury during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Grizzlies and will not return, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports. He'll finish the game with six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), four assists and one rebound across 12 minutes.

Sabonis exited to the locker room during the first quarter due to a laceration over his left eye, though he was able to return. However, the star big man seemingly rolled his right ankle in the third quarter and was unable to shoot the free throws before exiting to the locker room.

Sabonis (laceration) will return to Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Sabonis exited to the locker room early in the first quarter due to a laceration over his left eye, though he is set to return after presumably getting stitched up. The star big man will likely be able to shoulder his usual workload the rest of the way.

Sabonis sustained an apparent facial laceration and exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Sabonis left the court with a gash near his left eye, and he'll likely need to get stitched up before the club makes a decision on his status the rest of the way. If the star big man remains on the sideline, Jonas Valanciunas and Trey Lyles will likely see a bump in minutes.

Sabonis (hamstring) is not on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against Memphis.

Sabonis had missed games in March due to a left hamstring strain, but was able to return against the Suns on Friday. He was seen grabbing at his hamstring in the fourth quarter and looked to have aggravated the injury. However, his absence from the injury report indicates that he should be able to play against the Grizzlies on Monday. If Sabonis were to be ruled out or face a minutes restriction, Jonas Valanciunas would be in line to see an uptick in playing time.

Sabonis checked out of Friday's 122-106 loss to the Suns with 6:50 remaining in the fourth quarter after he appeared to aggravate a left hamstring strain, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports. The center finished the contest with 12 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 assists, 11 rebounds, three steals and one block in 30 minutes.

Though he had missed the Kings' previous six games with the hamstring injury, Sabonis didn't seem to be operating under any restrictions in his return to action. Sabonis took back his spot in the starting five and came away with his ninth triple-double of the season, but his status will now warrant monitoring again heading into Monday's game against the Grizzlies after he was spotted grabbing at his hamstring around the eight-minute mark of Friday's contest. Sabonis initially stayed in the game before exiting for good during a timeout a minute later. Though the Kings were trailing by 21 at the time of Sabonis' departure, Sacramento's other four starters stayed in the game coming out of the timeout, which suggests that Sabonis' exit wasn't merely precautionary. If Sabonis ends up sitting out again Monday, Jonas Valanciunas would likely step back into the starting five and take on heavy minutes.

Sabonis (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.

The Kings were waiting until the very last minute to determine whether Sabonis would be able to play Friday, but the star big man has been deemed available, meaning he should handle his regular workload on both ends of the court. His presence is a huge boost for the team, as Sabonis averaged 11.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 0.7 steals per game in the three full games he played before getting injured. Jonas Valanciunas is expected to return to the second unit with Sabonis back in the starting five.

Sabonis (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Suns.

Sabonis is in danger of missing his seventh straight contest Friday due to a strained left hamstring. If he's ultimately downgraded to out yet again, Jonas Valanciunas will likely continue to start at center.

Sabonis (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Sabonis is slated to miss a sixth consecutive game due to a left hamstring strain. He was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, which indicates that he is closing in on returning to the court, and his next opportunity to do so is Friday against Phoenix. Jonas Valanciunas will continue to start for the Kings for as long as Sabonis is sidelined.

Sabonis (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Sabonis has missed the last five games for the Kings due to a hamstring injury and may miss another game Thursday in San Francisco. If the star big man can't play against Golden State, Sacramento will likely continue to turn to Jonas Valanciunas to pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Sabonis (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain at the beginning of March, sidelining him for the past five games. His availability at practice is a good sign, however, and he's scheduled to be re-evaluated shortly. Sabonis' status for Thursday's game against the Kings should be known when the Kings release their official injury report Wednesday evening.

The Kings announced Saturday that Sabonis (hamstring) is making progress in his return-to-play plan, has been cleared for individual on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated Tuesday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain at the beginning of March and was slated to miss at least a week. If the big man's evaluation goes well Tuesday, he could return to action as soon as Thursday in Golden State. However, that's the first half of a back-to-back set, and Friday's contest in Phoenix is Sacramento's final outing of the current week. Jonas Valanciunas has been starting at center in Sabonis' absence.

Sabonis will miss at least one week with a grade one hamstring strain, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis suffered the injury during Saturday's contest against the Rockets, and after further evaluation, he has been diagnosed with a grade one left hamstring strain. Initial reports indicate Sabonis will be sidelined for at least one week, at which point another update will be provided. While he is out, Jonas Valanciunas will likely see a significant role.

Sabonis (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Sabonis suffered a hamstring injury during Saturday's game against the Rockets that will hold him out of Monday's contest. Jonas Valanciunas stepped up in Sabonis' absence Saturday, so he figures to have a major role once again.

Sabonis (hamstring) won't return to Saturday's game against the Rockets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

One minute into the game, the Kings took a timeout and Sabonis was helped off the court and into the locker room after the big man grabbed at his left hamstring. He was replaced by Jonas Valanciunas. Sabonis can be considered questionable at best for Monday's game in Dallas until further information in released.

Sabonis went to the locker room during Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a hamstring injury, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

One minute into the game, the Kings took a timeout and Sabonis was helped off the court and into the locker room. He was replaced by Jonas Valanciunas. It's unclear if Sabonis will be able to return.

Sabonis supplied 12 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 118-101 victory over Utah.

Sabonis is having arguably the best year of his NBA career with the Kings this season, averaging a double-double with a career-best 14.4 rebounds to go along with 19.9 points and 6.3 assists per game. The last two games have been uncharacteristically disappointing performances for the veteran star, but Sacramento still won both contests against the Hornets and Jazz convincingly.

Sabonis totaled seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 130-88 win over the Hornets.

This was a very quiet game by Sabonis' standards, but the lopsided score didn't help things as he was limited to 27 minutes. Over his last 10 outings, Sabonis has cooled off with averages of 16.3 points, 14.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.6 three-pointers.

Sabonis posted 22 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 28 rebounds and five assists over 43 minutes during Thursday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Pelicans.

Sabonis dominated in the paint Thursday, entering the All-Star Break by leading all Kings players in rebounds and concluding two boards shy of a 30-rebound performance in an overtime defeat. Sabonis matched a season high in boards, a mark he also tallied Jan. 10 against Boston. He has now recorded at least 20 points and 20 rebounds in four appearances.

Sabonis had 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 FT), 15 rebounds and eight assists over 42 minutes during Monday's 129-128 overtime victory over the Mavericks.

Sabonis has been unaffected by the arrival of Jonas Valanciunas, as expected. He continues to soak up a ton of usage on a daily basis, and he's on pace to return second-round value in nine-category formats with 20.4 points, 14.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.1 three-pointers on 59.9 percent shooting from the field.

Sabonis fouled out of Saturday's 123-118 victory over New Orleans after recording a team-high 27 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 16 rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes.

The Kings were staring at a 20-point deficit before the first quarter was over, but Sabonis helped fuel the comeback with his league-leading 46th double-double of the season. Over 19 games since the calendar flipped to January, Sabonis is averaging 20.2 points, 15.5 boards, 6.5 assists and 1.3 threes while shooting 60.3 percent from the floor and an eye-popping 51.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Sabonis accumulated 10 points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.

The double-double was his third straight and league-leading 45th of the season, but the 10 points were Sabonis' lowest output of the campaign. In two games since Zach LaVine joined the Kings' lineup, Sabonis has only attempted 16 field goals as the team's new starting five works to build chemistry -- a worrying decline in his volume, but something which could end up being just a short-term blip in his numbers. Sabonis has stayed busy on the glass however, pulling down 27 boards in those two contests.

Sabonis posted 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 130-111 loss to the Magic.

Sabonis posted customary numbers in the blowout loss, but the one-two punch of Paolo Banchero and Goga Bitadze proved to be stiff opposition for the All-Star. The loss of De'Aaron Fox is generally bad news in the short term for Sabonis, who was often Fox's assist target. The new backcourt combo of Malik Monk and Zach LaVine will need to find more opportunities for their elite center, but Sabonis is equally adept at finding his own spots out in space, especially at the perimeter.

Sabonis chipped in 14 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 116-114 win over the Timberwolves.

After seeing his latest double-double streak end at 24 games Saturday, Sabonis wasted no time starting a new one. The Kings have swapped De'Aaron Fox out for Zach LaVine in a blockbuster trade, but the move shouldn't have a big impact on Sabonis' usage or role in the frontcourt. The 28-year-old center leads the NBA in rebounds per game at 14.3, a career high for him, and his 43 double-doubles in 46 appearances is five ahead of Karl-Anthony Towns for the league lead.

Sabonis had 13 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 117-104 loss to the 76ers.

Sabonis registered his eighth triple-double of the season Wednesday, but his 13 points were just two shy of a season low set during the Nov. 13 win over Phoenix. Over his last 10 games, the star big man has averaged 21.8 points, 17.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 37.7 minutes while shooting 60.0 percent from beyond the arc. With De'Aaron Fox a potential trade candidate ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline, Sabonis could become the definitive focal point of Sacramento's offense down the stretch if the star guard is ultimately dealt.

Sabonis racked up 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 22 rebounds and 10 assists in 41 minutes during Monday's 110-96 win over the Nets.

Sabonis led the Kings with game highs in rebounds and assists during an extremely efficient outing from the field. The star big man also recorded his third game of the season with 20-plus points and rebounds, including his second career triple-double with at least 20 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists. The ninth-year center has logged 23 consecutive outings with a double-double or better, and he continues to stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis.

Sabonis put up 25 points (11-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds and 12 assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 143-120 loss to the Knicks.

The star big man is no stranger to the triple-double, having now logged six on the season, good for fourth in the league (tied with Josh Hart). He's also a threat to put up a double-double on any given night, with 40 in 42 games this season, making him a home run for fantasy purposes. He's been particularly productive on the glass this month, averaging 16.4 rebounds rebounds per game in January so far. He'll look to continue controlling the paint against the Nets on Monday.

Sabonis supplied 23 points (10-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 19 rebounds and eight assists over 39 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 loss to Denver.

The big man nearly secured his sixth triple-double of the 2024-25 campaign, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind DeMar DeRozan (24 points). Sabonis has logged 21 straight games with double-digit points and boards, and he continues to stuff the stat sheet at an efficient rate. Over 11 outings in January, the star center has averaged 21.5 points, 16.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists while shooting 62.0 percent from the floor in 37.8 minutes per contest.

Sabonis recorded 26 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 18 rebounds and three assists over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 123-117 win over the Warriors.

By now, it's odd when Sabonis doesn't record a double-double, and that outcome has happened in only two of his 40 appearances -- and not even once since Dec. 3. An ever-present name in the Kings lineup across the month of January, Sabonis is averaging a robust stat line of 21.3 points, 16.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 0.7 blocks per game while shooting 64.3 percent from the floor in his last 10 games.

Sabonis totaled 29 points (12-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 123-100 victory over Washington.

Sabonis was dominant on both ends of the court and had an impressive final stat line, reaching his 19th consecutive double-double and entrenching himself even more as one of the best fantasy alternatives at the center position. Over that 19-game stretch, Sabonis is averaging a robust 20.5 points, 15.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists and a combined 1.1 steals-plus-blocks per game.

Sabonis racked up 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 38 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 132-127 victory over the Rockets.

By now, seeing Sabonis record a double-double isn't much of a surprise, and the star big man also ended quite close to recording a triple-double. This was his 17th appearance with a double-double and at least seven dimes, emphasizing just how influential he can be on both ends of the court for the Kings.

Sabonis provided 22 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 victory over the Bulls.

Sabonis once again did it all for Sacramento in Sunday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points and ending two assists short of a triple-double. Sabonis has recorded at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 10 outings this season, doing so in three of his last four contests.

Sabonis registered 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 28 rebounds, three assists and one block over 39 minutes during Friday's 114-97 victory over the Celtics.

Sabonis amassed the most rebounds of any player in a single game so far in 2024-25, dominating with a career-high 28 boards against one of the league's premier frontcourt duos of Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis. Over his last seven games, Sabonis is averaging 18.7 points, 16.9 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.6 threes. The 28-year-old star big man now has 33 double-doubles in 35 games for the Kings this season, and Sabonis should continue to receive a bump in usage if De'Aaron Fox (glute) remains sidelined for Sunday's soft matchup with the Bulls, who rank 29th in the league in opponent points per game (120.8).

Sabonis closed Monday's 123-118 double-overtime win over the Heat with 21 points (7-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 18 rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and one steal across 50 minutes.

Sabonis was one of two players who recorded a triple-double in this game, as Jaime Jaquez did it for the Heat as well. This was an outstanding effort from the big man, who's been on a tear during the Kings' ongoing five-game winning run. He's averaging 18.8 points, 15.6 boards and 7.6 dimes per game in that span.

Sabonis ended Sunday's 129-99 victory over the Warriors with 22 points (10-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists over 30 minutes.

Sabonis maintained his slim lead over Karl-Anthony Towns in the double-double rankings during a dominant performance over the Warriors. Sabonis shined despite the absence of De'Aaron Fox (hip), as Malik Monk was able to feed the ball inside on several occasions. The competition will ramp up when Bam Adebayo and the Heat pay a visit Friday evening, but Sabonis' trend of stellar production should continue.

Sabonis contributed 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 FT), 21 rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.

Regardless of the team's overall struggles, Sabonis always finds a way to perform, and by now, it's an oddity when he doesn't have a double-double. This was his 11th straight game reaching that feat, and he's posted either 20 points or 20 rebounds five times in that stretch. Sabonis is averaging 20.0 points and 16.0 rebounds per game contest over that 11-game span, and his two-way contributions have been one of the few consistent traits for the Kings all season long.

Sabonis contributed 17 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 110-100 victory over the Mavericks.

Sabonis appears to be back on track, logging a second consecutive double-double after an illness forced him to miss a game. Sabonis' attendance has been mostly spotless over the past two seasons, with only three absences this year and a perfect attendance record during the 2023-24 campaign. Fantasy managers can take his consistent production and frequent double-doubles to the bank. After his 28th double-double, Sabonis stole the lead from Karl-Anthony Towns in the category. Sabonis and Nikola Jokic traded jabs in the category last season, but Jokic currently trails with only 22 doubles-doubles, although he holds a significant lead with 13 triple-doubles for the year.

Sabonis racked up 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and seven assists over 26 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 132-122 loss to the Lakers.

Sabonis returned after a one-game absence and posted a solid stat line, ending just three dimes away from recording what would've been his fifth triple-double of the season. He extended his double-double streak to nine contests, though, averaging a robust 20.7 points, 15.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game in that stretch.

Sabonis (illness) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Sabonis was sidelined during Thursday's loss against the Pistons due to an illness. He was able to participate in Saturday's shootaround and has been cleared to play. Sabonis has averaged 22.0 points, 14.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 35.5 minutes per game over his last 15 outings.

Sabonis (illness) intends to play in Saturday's game against the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Sabonis traveled separately from the rest of the team but participated in morning shootaround Saturday and intends to suit up against the Lakers. The 28-year-old missed Sacramento's previous game due to the illness and is officially listed as questionable Saturday. Assuming he's given the green light, expect Sabonis to replace Alex Len in the starting five.

Sabonis (illness) participated in shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis is officially listed as questionable Saturday after missing Sacramento's previous contest due to an illness. However, the star center's presence at shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Los Angeles.

Sabonis (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Sabonis was absent from practice Friday and missed Thursday's loss to the Pistons, but the questionable tag leaves the door for him to return after a one-game absence. If he's unable to suit up, however, either Alex Len or Trey Lyles could get the start at center.

Sabonis (illness) did not practice Friday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

The star big man was held out of Thursday's loss to the Pistons due to the illness, and his absence from practices bodes poorly for his status in Saturday's game against the Lakers. Alex Len and Trey Lyles both saw extended playing time in Sabonis' absence, and the 28-year-old can be considered questionable at best for Saturday's matchup until the team provides another update.

Sabonis (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis will miss his first outing since Nov. 18 due to the illness, and his next chance to feature will come Saturday against the Lakers. With the star big man sidelined, Trey Lyles and Isaac Jones are candidates to receive an uptick in playing time.

Sabonis (illness) wasn't present at shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Pistons, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest due to an illness. However, the star big man's absence from shootaround is a bad sign of his availability against Detroit.

Sabonis is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons due to an illness, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Sabonis has picked up an illness going into the Kings' upcoming game, a scenario that could result in them playing their first game without him since Nov. 18. Trey Lyles has started both of Sabonis' games that he has sat out this season, so it would not be surprising if the former does so should the latter be unavailable. That would not be ideal for a Kings team that has received 21.5 points, 15.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists averaged by Sabonis across his last eight games.

Sabonis registered 17 points (8-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 21 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 loss to Indiana.

The 28-year-old center put together a solid revenge game against the team that traded him to Sacramento in Feb. 2022, with the 21 boards being a new season high for Sabonis. The double-double was his league-leading 26th in 28 appearances, and through 10 games in December, Sabonis is averaging 22.4 points, 14.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.9 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor and 40.9 percent (9-for-22) from long distance.

Sabonis (ankle) is available to play Sunday against the Pacers.

Sabonis was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to a sprained left ankle, but the veteran center has been cleared to play. Over his last 10 games, Sabonis has averaged 22.8 points, 14.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists over 35.7 minutes per game.

Sabonis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Sabonis is in jeopardy of missing his first game since Nov. 18 due to a sprained left ankle. With Trey Lyles (calf) also questionable, Isaac Jones and Alex Len are candidates for an uptick in playing time if Lyles or Sabonis are sidelined. Over his last five outings, the star big man has averaged 23.2 points, 15.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals across 35.6 minutes per contest.

Sabonis produced 19 points (9-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 19 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 103-99 loss to the Lakers.

Sabonis has been dealing with a back injury as of late, resulting in him being questionable until right before tip-off Saturday, but took the court and dominated by leading all Kings in rebounds while ending one point and one board shy of a 20-20 outing. Sabonis has hauled in 19 or more rebounds in three outings, with his current season-high sitting at 20 rebounds, which he has recorded twice.

Sabonis (back) is available for Saturday's game versus the Lakers.

Sabonis has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday despite dealing with a back contusion. The star big man is averaging 23.6 points, 13.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 35.4 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Sabonis is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Lakers due to a back contusion.

Sabonis hasn't been on the injury report all day but is now in danger of missing Saturday's contest due to a back injury. With Trey Lyles (calf) also questionable, Isaac Jones and Alex Len could receive increased playing time against the Lakers.

Sabonis registered 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks over 38 minutes during Thursday's 113-100 loss to the Lakers.

Sabonis is a big reason why the Kings have 13 wins, but he lost the battle inside with Anthony Davis Thursday night. The standout center currently leads the league with 23 double-doubles, and he was very close to notching his fifth double-double. He currently ranks fourth in that category behind Nikola Jokic, LeBron James and Cade Cunningham.

Sabons (back) is available for Thursday's game versus the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday despite dealing with a back contusion. The star big man is averaging 23. points, 13.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 35.1 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Sabonis is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a back contusion.

Sabonis didn't practice Wednesday for unknown reasons, but it's now known he's dealing with a back bruise. Sabonis has played in all but two of Sacramento's games this season and if he were to miss Thursday's contest, Trey Lyles, Alex Len and Orlando Robinson would likely split his vacated minutes.

Sabonis didn't practice Wednesday due to undisclosed reasons and his status for Thursday's game against the Lakers will be determined later before the end of the day, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Neither Keegan Murray (undisclosed) nor Sabonis featured in practice Wednesday, and it wouldn't be surprising if either received a questionable or doubtful tag for Thursday's contest. Sabonis has been massive for the Kings this season, however, so losing him, even if it's just for one game, could be a huge blow for the Kings. The star big man is averaging 21.5 points, 13.1 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game in 25 appearances this season.

Sabonis accumulated 28 points (12-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and three steals across 41 minutes during Monday's 130-129 loss to the Nuggets.

Sabonis had to deal with the nightmarish matchup of Nikola Jokic, but he still posted an impressive stat line across the board. The star big man has started a new streak of double-doubles that is up to five games now, and he's averaging a robust 23.6 points, 15.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game in that stretch while shooting 63.4 percent from the floor.

Sabonis notched 32 points (11-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 20 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 victory over the Pelicans.

De'Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan had excellent performances Thursday, but there's no question Sabonis carried the Kings to what ended up being a closer-than-expected win. The star big man recorded his fifth double-double in six outings in December. He's averaging 23.7 points, 13.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game since the beginning of the month. This was also the first 30-point, 20-rebound performance from any player in the current NBA season.

Sabonis accumulated 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 win over the Jazz.

Sabonis had an impressive performance on both ends of the court Sunday and seems to be starting another streak of double-doubles after his previous 18-game stretch was snapped on Dec. 3 against the Rockets. Sabonis has 21 double-doubles in 23 appearances this season, averaging 20.8 points, 12.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 0.7 steals per contest.

Sabonis notched 27 points (13-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 120-111 victory over the Rockets.

It took a team effort, but the Kings rattled off 15 straight shots in the final stanza, eliminating an eight-point deficit and sealing a win. Sabonis was responsible for four of those shots, joining De'Aaron Fox, DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray in erasing Houston's lead. Although Tuesday's performance snapped an 18-game double-double streak, he notched his third-highest scoring total of the season in the win.

Sabonis finished with 25 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's 127-125 loss to San Antonio.

Sabonis couldn't repeat the triple-double he notched in the loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday, but at least he kept his double-double streak alive. He's recorded either a triple-double or a double-double in every game this season except the season opener, when he finished with 24 points and eight rebounds in a loss to the Timberwolves on Oct. 24. Sabonis' consistency and high-end play has been one of the few bright spots in what has been an up-and-down season for the Kings so far.

Sabonis closed with 21 points (8-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Friday's 115-106 loss to Portland.

It was the fourth triple-double of the season for Sabonis, with the last coming Nov. 6 against the Raptors. The veteran center has delivered at least a double-double in 17 straight games after falling a couple boards short on Opening Night, and in five contests since returning from a minor back issue, Sabonis has averaged 21.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 threes while shooting 59.7 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent (7-for-15) from beyond the arc.

Sabonis finished Wednesday's 115-104 victory over Minnesota with 27 points (10-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 34 minutes.

Sabonis had little issue contending with Rudy Gobert's defense in Wednesday's win over Minnesota, netting his 16th double-double of the season. The 28-year-old three-time All-Star has been one of the top big men in fantasy so far this year, averaging 20.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.0 three-pointers per game while shooting a career-high 62.0 percent from the field, 40.5 percent from deep and 84.6 percent from the free-throw line in 17 contests. Sabonis may be hurting fantasy managers a bit with his 3.6 turnovers per game, but he should continue to handle added usage for the Kings in the absence of star swingman DeMar DeRozan (back).

Sabonis racked up 21 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 130-109 loss to the Thunder.

Sabonis has remained consistent despite the Kings' ongoing four-game losing streak, posting a double-double in the three games he's been available for during that negative run. Sabonis has posted a double-double in every one of his appearances except the season opener. The star big man is averaging 18.6 points, 13.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game since the start of November.

Sabonis racked up 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 18 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Nets.

The Kings endured a slow start Sunday, and ultimately, that doomed them in their loss. However, and despite the team's overall struggles, Sabonis was productive and finished just three assists away from a triple-double. The star big man has recorded either a double-double or a triple-double in each of his outings this season excepting the season, and his consistency levels are truly remarkable. He's averaging 18.4 points, 13.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and a combined 1.1 steals-plus-blocks in 11 outings since the beginning of November.

Sabonis closed Friday's 104-88 loss to the Clippers with 24 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes.

After missing the prior two games due to back tightness, Sabonis appeared to be fully healthy in his return and reeled off his 13th straight game with a double-double or better. The 28-year-old center has seen his distribution numbers fall off a bit with DeMar DeRozan in the lineup, but he's averaging career highs in points (20.4), threes (1.0) and field-goal percentage (63.0%) to begin the season while supplying 12.7 boards and 6.4 assists a contest.

Sabonis (back) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Sabonis will return to game action after a two-game absence due to lower back tightness. With the big man and DeMar DeRozan (back) both off the injury report, Alex Len and Trey Lyles should shift back to their normal roles off the bench. Sabonis has averaged 20.2 points, 12.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists while shooting 64.1 percent from the field across 36.5 minutes per game in 13 regular-season outings.

Sabonis (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Sabonis has missed Sacramento's previous two contests due to lower back tightness. However, the star big man's return to practice is a good sign of his availability for Friday's game versus the Clippers.

Sabonis (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis will miss his second consecutive outing due to lower back tightness. Trey Lyles and Alex Len are both candidates for an increased role until the star big man is able to return. Sabonis' next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Clippers.

Sabonis (back) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Sabonis will likely miss a second consecutive game due to lower back tightness. Trey Lyles figures to see a significant role once again while Alex Len could also see some action if Sabonis is in fact unable to go.

Sabonis (back) is out for Saturday's game versus the Jazz.

Sabonis will miss Saturday's contest due to lower back tightness that popped up during Friday's loss to the Timberwolves. Alex Len and Trey Lyles are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Sabonis' next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Atlanta.

Sabonis ended with 23 points (10-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks over 40 minutes during Friday's 130-126 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

Per Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento, Sabonis was dealing with cramps in his back during the game, but that didn't stop him from producing his 12th straight double-double. The 28-year-old forward continues to add to his skill set, and in addition to averaging 20.2 points, 12.5 boards and 6.6 assists a game, Sabonis is contributing 0.9 threes a game while shooting 40.0 percent (12-for-30) from beyond the arc -- marks which would both be career highs if he can maintain them. With the Kings playing the second night of a back-to-back Saturday against the Jazz, Sabonis could get his first rest day of the season.

Sabonis finished Wednesday's 127-104 victory over the Suns with 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and one block over 30 minutes.

Sabonis served as more of a ball distributor in the win, falling short of his 22-point performance against the Suns last Sunday. He was in danger of breaking his 10-game double-streak, but he grabbed three quick rebounds during his brief appearance in the fourth quarter.

Sabonis had 23 points (11-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Monday's 116-96 loss to San Antonio.

Sabonis led the league in double-doubles last season, and he extended his current streak to 10 games in the loss. While Sabonis delivered a strong fantasy total, he struggled to contain Victor Wembanyama, who out-rebounded him in the paint.

Sabonis accumulated 23 points (9-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 107-98 loss to the Clippers.

Another game, another double-double or better for Sabonis, who has reeled off eight straight after falling two boards short in the Kings' season opener. The 28-year-old big has seen his usage rate drop a little with DeMar DeRozan in the mix for Sacramento, but Sabonis has compensated with even better efficiency, and he's on pace to post career bests with a 64.4 percent FG% and 84.3 percent FT%.

Sabonis posted 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, 13 assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 122-107 victory over Toronto.

Sabonis led the league in triple-doubles last season, out-dueling Nikola Jokic for that honor. Jokic has a head start in the category, so the total was timely for the premier big man. He now has three triple-doubles to his credit and has dipped below double-digit rebounds only once over the first eight games of the season.

Sabonis produced 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 111-110 win over the Heat.

Sabonis led the NBA in double-doubles in the 2023-24 season, and it wouldn't be surprising if he reaches that feat again in 2024-25 given how he's started the season. Even though he's getting fewer touches on offense following the offseason addition of DeMar DeRozan, Sabonis continues to find ways to make an impact. He has six double-doubles in seven contests while averaging a robust 20.7 points and 13.4 rebounds per game.

Sabonis (face) has returned to Monday's game against Miami, CourtSideHeat reports.

Sabonis was spotted making his way to the locker room after taking a blow to the face, but he was only absent for a few minutes. The team could have more information on the extent of the injury after the game, but it's evidently not serious enough to keep him from the rest of Monday's clash.

Sabonis (face) went back to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game versus the Heat, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis took a blow to the face and left for the locker room with a towel covering his head. The big man's status will be something to monitor as it is still early in the game, though Alex Len and Trey Lyles are both candidates for an increased role if Sabonis is unable to return.

Sabonis amassed 17 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 20 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Saturday's 131-128 overtime loss to Toronto.

Sabonis posted his second triple-double of the young campaign, which was highlighted by a season-high 20 rebounds. He wasn't overly aggressive on offense, finishing fourth on his team in scoring behind DeMar DeRozan (33 points), De'Aaron Fox (24 points) and Malik Monk (21 points), but he continues to be one of the top-producing big men in the game across the board.

Sabonis finished with 15 points (5-11 FG, 5-5 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 123-115 victory over the Hawks.

The 15-point output was Sabonis' lowest mark of the season, but that shouldn't be overly surprising since DeMar DeRozan and De'Aaron Fox both cleared the 20-point mark. Even if the scoring figures were a bit subpar, Sabonis continues to be one of the most reliable fantasy options every time he steps on the court. He's on a streak of three straight double-doubles, averaging 19.7 points, 12.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest in that span.

Sabonis finished with 28 points (13-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 win over the Jazz.

Sabonis led the NBA in double-doubles in the 2023-24 season and should be one of the strongest candidates to do so again in 2024-25. He's already posted one triple-double and two double-doubles in four appearances this season, so his role as an elite two-way threat for the Kings should continue, meaning the arrival of DeMar DeRozan shouldn't affect Sabonis' overall fantasy production. Through four contests, Sabonis is already averaging 24.3 points and 11.0 rebounds per contest.

Sabonis provided 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 111-98 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Sabonis led the club with a game-high 13 boards in the matchup. The 28-year-old has already logged a double-double and a triple-double through three regular-season outings, and he has done it all while shooting an extremely efficient 65.7 percent from the field. Moreover, the big man is shooting 55.6 percent from beyond the arc on what would be a career-high 3.0 attempts per game. Sabonis is averaging 23.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.7 combined steals plus blocks across 37.0 minutes per game.

Sabonis had 29 points (10-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 loss to the Lakers.

Sabonis missed out on a double-double in his first game but notched a stat line we've come to expect from him in the loss. Sabonis will be a double-double threat nightly after leading the league in the category last season. Triple-doubles will be more elusive, but he ended the 2023-24 season ranked first in that category as well.

Sabonis ended Thursday's 117-115 loss to Minnesota with 24 points (8-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 38 minutes.

Sabonis had fewer rebounds than Keegan Murray, who led the team with 11 rebounds. Double-doubles are a regular occurrence for Sabonis, but he spent a lot of time outside the paint in the opener, possibly curtailing his ability to reach his typical threshold. The 24/8 line shouldn't be too concerning at this point, as he still has enormous fantasy impact when he's a few rebounds short of a double-double.

Sabonis logged 24 points (7-14 FFG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Thursday's 113-91 loss to the Clippers.

Sabonis coughed up the ball six times in the loss, which is an unusually high number for him. Still, preseason mistakes are common and one shouldn't read much into the increase. Sabonis will be one of the most productive players in the league once again and he'll challenge Nikola Jokic for the double-double and triple-double crowns.

Sabonis tallied 29 points (11-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 117-114 preseason win over the Jazz.

Sabonis continued his dominant stretch of play Tuesday as he converted his first three-pointer of the preseason. Sabonis led the NBA in triple-doubles with 26 last season and doesn't appear to be slowing down heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Sabonis notched nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and two blocks across 30 minutes in Sunday's 108-85 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

Sabonis was a double-double machine in the 2023-24 season and led the league in that category. Even though he might experience a regression in his numbers after the Kings added DeMar DeRozan to the mix in the offseason, Sabonis' status as a double-double threat every time he steps on the hardwood shouldn't change. Even if this performance wasn't his best from an efficiency perspective, Sabonis still ended one point, two rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double, which speaks volumes about his versatility on the offensive end of the court.

Sabonis scored 13 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT) while adding 13 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Friday's 109-106 preseason loss to the Warriors.

Sacramento's starting lineup looked to be just about in midseason form, as all five players scored in double digits, but Sabonis was the only King to pull down more than six boards. The 28-year-old big set a modern NBA record with 61 straight double-doubles in 2023-24 and had an incredible 77 total in 82 regular-season games, and Sabonis appears to be ready to pick up where he left off when the current campaign tips off.

Sabonis recorded 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 17 minutes in Wednesday's 112-112 loss to Golden Stare.

Sabonis was well on his way to a characteristic double-double before taking a seat. Although Nikola Jokic received all the accolades, Sabonis bested him in a few key metrics last season. He led the league in double-doubles (77) and triple-doubles (26), beating out Jokic in both categories. He'll demand a bit more attention and respect after a dynamic 2023-24 campaign.

Sabonis produced 23 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game loss to New Orleans.

Sabonis seems to be extending his double-double streak into the postseason, and he stepped up in a game where the Kings needed him to be at his best, ending just three assists away from a triple-double. Sabonis is expected to be one of the Kings' go-to players in the first-round series against the Thunder, and it's worth noting he posted two triple-doubles in four appearances against OKC in the regular season.

Sabonis ended with 18 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds and nine assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 121-82 win over the Trail Blazers.

Sabonis needed one more assist to hit the triple-double, but it was a solid outing for the star nonetheless. Sabonis is one of the most consistent producers in the NBA, and he'll need to propel the Kings to two consecutive wins this week to make it into the playoff bracket. He finished the regular season with the league lead in double-doubles and triple-doubles.

Sabonis logged 25 points (9-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 42 minutes during Friday's 108-107 loss to the Suns.

Sabonis was pestered consistently by Jusuf Nurkic during the loss, and some calls didn't go Sacramento's way during the interior battle. As the team's top contributor, Sabonis will need to post another big total against the Trail Blazers on Sunday. A loss would sink the Kings down to ninth or even 10th, which would require two wins in the play-in to earn a spot in the playoff bracket.

Sabonis racked up 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 135-123 loss to the Pelicans.

Sabonis' 75th double-double marked the most double-doubles by any player in a season since Moses Malone, who logged 77 double-doubles over 30 years ago. Despite breaking records left and right, the standout center isn't in the MVP conversation, but his explosive performances haven't saved the Kings from the play-in bracket. Sabonis will get no rest before the playoffs, as they will fight for the best seed possible up until the final game.

Sabonis totaled 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 20 rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 107-77 victory over the Nets.

He very nearly collected his 27th triple-double of the season, but instead Sabonis had to settle for his NBA-leading 74th double-double, 10 ahead of second-place Nikola Jokic. Sabonis also extended his record double-double streak to 61, the longest the league has seen in the modern era, and he's one of only four players in NBA history to put together a streak of 60-plus games. Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and Walt Bellamy all accomplished the feat in the 1960s.

Sabonis registered 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 loss to the Knicks.

Sabonis didn't have his best scoring performance, but he's failed to reach the 20-point mark in all but one of his last six appearances, so it's not like he has been setting the scoring column on fire in recent weeks. Even considering that, Sabonis remains an elite fantasy contributor due to his versatility and impressive double-double streak. Sabonis has recorded a double-double in each of his appearances starting Dec. 2, a span that has stretched for 58 straight games.

Sabonis amassed 22 points (8-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 20 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 109-95 victory over the Clippers.

Sabonis came one assist shy of a triple-double as he recorded his 71st double-double of the season, which is nine more than Nikola Jokic. The short-handed Kings will be limping into the playoffs, but expect a big workload ahead from Sabonis as the team tried to improve their seeding.

Coach Mike Brown said Saturday that Sabonis will likely see an increase in playing time over the last nine games of the season, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

The Kings currently sit in eighth in the Western Conference, with a 42-31 record, meaning they will likely have to go through the Play-In Tournament to make the playoffs. With Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and Malik Monk (knee) both potentially out for the season, Sacramento will lean on De'Aaron Fox and Sabonis even more down the stretch. Fantasy managers can expect Sabonis to see an uptick from his season average of 35.8 minutes per contest.

Sabonis chipped in 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 107-103 loss to the Mavericks.

Sabonis logged his third-triple-double over his past six games and holds a firm lead over Nikola Jokic in the category. He also completed his 26th consecutive double-double in the loss. Despite Sabonis' stellar play, the Kings are sinking further in the Wes and are now stuck in the play-in bracket after two losses to the Mavericks. As a result, there will be little opportunity to rest the elite center anytime soon.

Sabonis chipped in 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks.

Despite the Kings' poor showing, Sabonis managed his 55th consecutive double-double, breaking another record by matching Jerry Lucas for the longest double-double streak in the history of the franchise. Dallas was well aware of Sabonis' potential and crowded him in the paint often, which resulted in a lower shot volume for the underrated big man. Despite popular opinion, Sabonis' season merits MVP consideration, as the Kings would likely be out of the playoff hunt without him.

Sabonis ended with 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 108-96 win over Philadelphia.

Sabonis joined an exclusive group with his 25th triple-double of the season, a feat achieved by only four other players in NBA history. Sabonis' 54th consecutive double-double set another record, as his effort broke a tie with Kevin Love for the longest streak since the NBA/ABA merger. Despite his historic season, Sabonis is getting little respect as an MVP candidate, and his All-Star snub this season is an obvious oversight. Sabonis and Nikola Jokic have both been consistent fantasy standouts, and Sabonis has outplayed the presumptive MVP in several categories.

Sabonis ended with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists over 39 minutes during Thursday's 109-102 loss to Washington.

The 27-year-old center extended his double-double streak to 52 games, putting him one away from tying Kevin Love's modern record set in the 2010-11 season. Sabonis is also within striking distance of another piece of history, as his 65 double-doubles on the season puts him only seven back of Hakeem Olajuwon's NBA record 72 from 1992-93, with 13 games left on the Kings' schedule. Through 11 games in March, Sabonis is averaging 20.3 points, 16.5 boards, 7.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor.

Sabonis provided 13 points (4-7 FG, 5-6 FT), 17 rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-89 victory over the Raptors.

Sabonis' ability to rack up triple-doubles is something the league hadn't witnessed since Russell Westbrook's prime years, and the big man has been outstanding as the engine that keeps Sacramento's offense going. He's now up to 24 triple-doubles on the campaign, and he'll aim to increase that figure even more when the Kings take on the Wizards on Thursday in what promises to be another favorable matchup for Sabonis.

Sabonis ended Monday's 121-111 overtime victory over Memphis with 25 points (6-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 13-15 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 40 minutes.

Sabonis ended five assists away from recording another triple-double, a stat in which he leads the league over the likes of Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic, but he kept his double-double streak alive -- he's now recorded that feat in 50 consecutive appearances. Sabonis has been one of the best fantasy players this season and should remain an absolute stud now that most leagues are playing in the postseason. He also holds a sizable role for a Kings team that's pushing to make the postseason in the Western Conference.

Sabonis closed Wednesday's 120-107 win over the Lakers with 17 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes.

Sabonis fueled a 44:38 team rebounding advantage for Sacramento on Wednesday, while facilitating with only two turnovers as the Kings notched back-to-back quality wins. He continues to profile as one of the top do-it-all players in the league.

Sabonis ended Tuesday's 129-94 victory over the Bucks with 22 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 34 minutes.

Sabonis' double-double streak broke a single-season team record. It's safe to say that Sabinus has given Nikola Jokic a run for.his money as the best center in the NBA this season, aa their stat lines have been very similar. Sabonis is ahead of Jokic with more double-doubles and triple-doubles, although the MVP candidate isn't far behind.

Sabonis had 25 points (10-11 FG, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals over 40 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 loss to the Rockets.

Sabonis ended two assists away from recording his 23rd triple-double of the season. Still, at least he extended his double-double streak to 46 games -- the last time he didn't accomplish this feat was on a 131-117 loss to the Clippers on Nov. 29. Sabonis is averaging 22.2 points, 17.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game since the beginning of March. This kind of elite consistency has been unmatched in The Association this season.

Sabonis racked up 31 points (14-19 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 17 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Thursday's 131-129 win over the Spurs.

The 27-year-old center continues to dominate. Sabonis just missed recording his 23rd triple-double of the season, settling instead for his 45th consecutive double-double and extending his franchise record. Wilt Chamberlain's all-time time NBA record is an impossible 227 straight games, but Sabonis is within reach of Kevin Love's 53-game streak from the 2010-2011 season, the longest of the modern era. Since the beginning of February, Sabonis is averaging 20.4 points, 14.9 boards, 9.7 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 59.2 percent from the floor.

Sabonis notched 16 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 20 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 130-120 victory over the Lakers.

Sabonis was successful in outplaying Anthony Davis during the win, as he bested him in points, rebounds, assists and blocked shots. The star big man added another triple-double to his total, keeping pace ahead of Nikola Jokic in the category.

Sabonis totaled 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 21 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 32 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 113-109 loss to the Bulls.

Sabonis' 21 rebounds marked his best total off the glass since late January and was his third-best effort in the category this season. Sabonis now leads Nikola Jokic and Anthony Davis 56-50 in total double-doubles, and although he gets no love from the sportsbooks in terms of NBA MVP odds, it's difficult to ignore his achievements.

Sabonis (injury) produced 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks over 41 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 124-120 overtime win over the Timberwolves.

Sabonis briefly left the contest and went to the locker room for an undisclosed reason, but he returned and nearly posted another triple-double. He also tied his season high with three blocks. Since the All-Star break, Sabonis is averaging 17.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 36.4 minutes per game.

Sabonis registered 13 points (5-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Nuggets.

Sabonis shot poorly against Nikola Jokic and the defending champions, and he consequently finished with his lowest scoring output since Feb. 5. Nonetheless, the big man extended his streak of double-doubles to 41, and he leads the league with 21 triple-doubles on the campaign. Sabonis' lack of defensive stats and triples along with mediocre free-throw shooting ding him a bit in fantasy, but he's still among the top centers in the game and ranks behind only Jokic in terms of assist leaders in the frontcourt.

Sabonis ended with 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 14 rebounds and 10 assists over 40 minutes during Monday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.

Not only did Sabonis extended his triple-double lead over Nikola Jokic, he became only the 10th player in NBA history to record 40 consecutive double-doubles. It's difficult to find that kind of rock-solid consistency at the position, and even though he was playing on the tail-end of a back-to-back, he didn't miss a beat.

Sabonis ended Sunday's 123-107 win over the Clippers with 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, 12 assists and three steals across 36 minutes.

If you assumed Nikola Jokic led the league in triple-doubles, you'd be incorrect. Sabonis has two more triple-doubles than Jokic currently, with Luke Doncic ranking a distant third with 10. Although Sabonis' 8.4 assists per game is lower than Jokic's total, he's actually pulling down an average of one rebound more than the former MVP, a surprising metric when you consider Jokic's dominance.

Sabonis logged 22 points (11-15 FG), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and one block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 127-122 victory over San Antonio.

Although Sabonis began the day on the injury report, he played through the non -COVIID illness and built on his lead in the category with his 19th triple-double. Nikola Jokic is hot on his heels for top honors but trails Sabonis with 26 triple-doubles. Despite the big man's effectiveness, the Kings are 5-5 over the past 10 games and are treading water near the cut line in the Western Conference. Superior results should be expected for Sabonis as he helps his team to make the final playoff push.

Sabonis (illness) will play in Thursday's game against the Spurs, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis was a full participant during the morning shootaround and made it through warmups without any setbacks. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff.

Sabonis (illness), who is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs, was a full participant in the Kings' morning shootaround, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis was upgraded from doubtful to questionable Thursday morning, and his full participation in shootaround is another encouraging sign. He'll presumably continue to be evaluated in the hours leading up to tipoff, but he's certainly trending in the right direction.

Sabonis (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Spurs.

Sabonis has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable Thursday while dealing with a non-COVID illness. While the star center's upgraded status is a good sign of his availability, Sabonis is still in danger of missing his first game of the season against San Antonio.

Sabonis (illness) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Sabonis was unable to participate in Wednesday's practice due to a non-covid illness and is trending toward being held out of Kings' first game following the All-Star Break. While Sabonis hasn't missed a game this season, expect Sacramento to deploy a mix of Trey Lyles, Alex Len and JaVale McGee at the center position Thursday if Sabonis sits.

Sabonis didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Sabonis' absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability for Thursday's game versus the Spurs. If the star big man is ruled out, Trey Lyles, Alex Len and JaVale McGee are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Sabonis finished Tuesday's 130-125 loss to the Suns with 35 points (14-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 18 rebounds, 12 assists, three blocks and one steal in 39 minutes.

Sabonis impressed while leading all players in Tuesday's contest in rebounds and assists to go along with a team-high trio of blocks en route to ending as one of two Kings players with 35 or more points in a triple-double outing. Sabonis has recorded at least 35 points in two games this season, adding at least 10 boards and 10 assists in both of those games. He has tallied a triple-double in 18 outings, including in five of his last six appearances.

Sabonis had 21 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, 14 assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Sunday's 127-113 loss to the Thunder.

Sabonis has posted 15 triple-doubles during the year, and the star big man remains one of the most versatile players in the league -- and an absolute stud in fantasy due to his elite ability to fill the stat sheet. To note, he has four triple-doubles across six appearances in February, a span in which he's averaging 19.8 points, 14.0 rebounds and 10.5 assists per contest.

Sabonis finished Friday's 135-106 win over the Nuggets with 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Sabonis' triple-double broke the tie with Nikola Jokic for top spot in the category.

The big man missed only two shots in the game, raising his season field goal percentage to 62.2 percent.

Sabonis had 30 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Pistons.

Sabonis extended his newest double-double streak to seven games as he continued his reign atop the category, well ahead of Nikola Jokic's 42 double-doubles. He's failed to hit the milestone only four times this season, making him the most reliable center in the Western Conference. His increased assist totals have turned him into a legitimate triple-double threat as well, and his 15 triple-double games leave him tied Jokic for first place.

Sabonis contributed 12 points (6-9 FG), 19 rebounds and 15 assists over 34 minutes during Monday's 136-110 loss to the Cavaliers. He also had five turnovers.

Sabonis was Sacramento's only player to log more than four assists in Monday's loss, matching his season high with 15 dimes. Despite his booming triple-double, Sabonis was passive against Cleveland's formidable frontcourt of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley -- capping the multi-dimensional upside of Sacramento's offense. Monday marked his 11th game of the season with two or fewer free-throw attempts.

Sabonis had 13 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 123-115 victory over the Bulls.

It's the 13th triple-double of the season for Sabonis, one off the career high he set in 2022-23, and he's delivered at least a double-double in 29 straight games -- putting him two back of Oscar Robertson's official franchise record of 31, set in 1961 when the team was still in Cincinnati. Sabonis wraps up a sizzling January having averaged 20.8 points, 14.5 boards and 9.0 assists through 15 games while shooting 66.5 percent from the floor.

Sabonis amassed 20 points (10-11 FG), 26 rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Monday's 103-94 win over Memphis.

Sabonis was a beast on the glass, hauling down a season-high 26 rebounds. He also scored at least 20 points for the first time in his past five games, rounding out another impressive performance. Despite his gaudy numbers, Sabonis' lack of defensive contributions continues to drag down his overall rank. If you are rostering him, simply be aware that he will continue to be a negative when it comes to both blocks and steals.

Sabonis accumulated 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, 13 assists and one block over 35 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 win over the Warriors.

Sabonis put the game out of reach with a thundering dunk in the closing seconds as the NorCal neighbors exchanged leads throughout the fourth quarter. Sabonis kept the double-double streak going, but he hit the mark with 13 assists this time around. The big man has collected 10-plus assists 15 times this season, placing him in seventh place league-wide with an average of 8.0 assists per game.

Sabonis contributed 14 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 21 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 122-107 victory over the Hawks.

Sabonis' result tied Oscar Robertson for the longest double-double streak in franchise history, He only needs five more to break the record, also owned by Robertson. The center also ranks first in the league with 38 double-doubles ahead of Nikola Jokic and Anthony Davis, who are both hot on his heels.

Sabonis amassed 21 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 38 minutes during Thursday's 126-121 loss to the Pacers.

Sabonis led Sacramento in both rebounds and assists Thursday, adding 21 points to notch his third consecutive triple-double and 12th overall this season. That total ties him for first in the league with Nikola Jokic, and Sabonis is only two triple-doubles away from reaching his career-best total of 14 from last year. The big man is currently logging career-high marks with 12.6 boards and 8.0 assists per game this season, and he's on pace to average over 20 points per contest for just the second time as a pro.

Sabonis logged 21 points (9-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to Phoenix.

Sabonis missed just two shots from the field and notched his fifth triple-double across nine January contests, but his contributions were not enough to avoid the Kings' epic meltdown in the fourth quarter. Regardless of the team's struggles, Sabonis has been one of the best players in fantasy this season and has consistently delivered first-round value aided by the fact he's now notched a double-double or a triple-double in each of his appearances dating back to Dec. 2, which represents a 23-game run.

Sabonis totaled 21 points (9-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, 15 assists, one block and one steal over 45 minutes during Sunday's 143-142 overtime loss to Milwaukee.

Sabonis has been a triple-double machine this season, as he secured his 10th of the campaign Sunday. The Kings have lost two straight games, but Sacramento's franchise center continues to roll for his fantasy managers. Across eight January appearances, Sabonis holds averages of 22.8 points, 14.0 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Sabonis supplied 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 112-93 loss to the 76ers.

While he was held in check on the offensive end due to a strong effort from Tobias Harris, Sabonis still produced his 21st straight double-double since the beginning of December -- double-double or better, as he has eight triple-doubles in that time. The 27-year-old center is averaging 21.2 points, 13.5 boards, 8.2 assists and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 61.5 percent from the floor, and Sabonis' 34 double-doubles on the season leads the NBA, putting him one ahead of perennial MVP candidate Nikola Jokic.

Sabonis ended Wednesday's 123-98 victory over the Hornets with 24 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 28 minutes.

Sabonis has been one of the most consistent big men in the league and has posted 20 straight games with a double-double or a triple-double, reaching the latter eight times. Even though he's committed multiple turnovers in seven consecutive outings, that comes with the territory of being one of the team's primary ballhandlers. Sabonis is averaging 24.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game since the start of January.

Sabonis logged 37 points (16-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 13 assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 victory over the Pistons.

Sabonis registered his ninth triple-double on the year and he ranks second in the NBA in that category behind two-time MVP Nikola Jokic. Sabonis has been on a tear as of late and has recorded a triple-double in four of his last six appearances. The All-Star forward is averaging 24.0 points on 65.8 percent shooting, 14.1 rebounds and 9.2 assists over 36.3 minutes per game over his last 10 games.

Sabonis supplied 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds and 11 assists across 39 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 135-130 victory over the Raptors.

Sabonis registered his second straight triple-double -- and third in his last four games -- in Friday's win. His 12.9 rebounds per game leads the NBA and his 59.2 percent shooting from the field ranks ninth in the league. Over his last 10 games, Sabonis is averaging 22.7 points on 62.6 percent shooting, 14.4 rebounds and 9.3 assists over 35.5 minutes per game.

Sabonis posted 22 points (8-14 FG, 6-9 FT), 23 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals in 46 minutes during Wednesday's 138-135 double-overtime win over the Magic.

Sabonis led all players in Wednesday's showdown rebounds and assists while finishign as one of three Kings with 20 or more points in a triple-double performance. Sabonis, who set a season high in rebounds and has tallied 20 or more boards in two games, has recorded a triple-double in seven contests this year.

Sabonis supplied 23 points (11-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 loss to the Hornets.

At this point, a double-double is essentially an expectation for Sabonis, as he's achieved the feat in 15 straight games and in 28 contests overall this season, second-most in the league behind Nikola Jokic. While Sabonis put up another big performance as a scorer and rebounder Tuesday, the effort was tainted to some extent by his 11 turnovers, two more than his previous career high. The big man is averaging 3.1 turnovers per game on the season, but his production has otherwise been excellent, as he's averaging 19.5 points, 12.5 boards, 7.4 dimes, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks through 27 contests.

Sabonis had 13 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 21 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 123-92 win over the Grizzlies.

Sabonis didn't look good from an offensive perspective and struggled with his shot a bit, but he was impressive in other areas of the game and recorded his third triple-double over his last five appearances. The star big man is averaging 20.3 points, 13.1 rebounds and 8.2 assists since the start of December.

Sabonis finished Friday's 117-110 win over the Hawks with 25 points (12-17 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists over 35 minutes.

Sabonis extended his double-double streak to 13 games Friday. The eight-year veteran out of Gonzaga is third in the NBA in both rebounds per game (12.1) and double-doubles (25) behind two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and Anthony Davis. Sabonis could see more action in the offense moving forward with Kevin Huerter leaving Friday's game with a hand injury.

Sabonis registered 34 points (14-19 FG, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 130-113 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Sabonis' increased shot volume in the loss contributed to this massive scoring total, but it was otherwise business as usual for the prolific rebounder, who currently ranks third in the category behind Anthony Davis and Nikola Jokic. Sabonis' height and reach make the Kings an imposing force in the frontcourt, which they will need in a conference full of elite big men.

Sabonis finished Saturday's 110-98 loss to the Timberwolves with 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 39 minutes.

Sabonis recorded his second triple-double in a row and has now hit the milestone five times this season. The standout center is carrying a massive load for the Kings this season, and although his eight-year NBA career has been remarkably free from injury, the team needs additional inside support inside to keep the center fresh.

Sabonis finished with 28 points (12-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds and 12 assists over 35 minutes during Friday's 120-105 victory over Phoenix.

Sabonis had one of the most efficient performances of his career. He barely missed from the field despite attempting 15 shots, and he also continued his impressive run of play that has him as one of the most productive big men in The Association in recent weeks. He has seven double-doubles and three triple-doubles over his last 10 outings, a span in which he's averaging 19.5 points, 13.1 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game.

Sabonis notched 13 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 144-119 loss to Boston.

Sabonis had a fine overall game, but the Kings needed another superior scoring option to battle back against the Celtics, and that option never developed. Kevin Huerter continued to struggle and Keegan Murray regressed, leaving Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox to shoulder a very heavy load.

Sabonis notched 28 points (11-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, 12 assists and one block over 32 minutes during Monday's 143-131 win over the Wizards.

Sabonis logged his third triple-double of the season Monday. He posted 14 triple-doubles last season, so while he isn't quite on pace to replicate his booming 2022-23 campaign, his 7.0 assists per game still ranks second among all centers behind Nikola Jokic. Sabonis had just two turnovers as well, thoroughly capitalizing against the Wizards' 29th ranked defense.

Sabonis accumulated 20 points (9-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 125-104 win over the Jazz.

Sabonis crept closer to a triple-double after falling three assists shy of the milestone in Thursday's win against the Thunder, but the big man extended his streak of double-doubles in the victory. Sabonis has enjoyed a red-hot December, averaging 18.0 points, 13.9 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.3 steals across seven games this month.

Sabonis contributed 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds and seven assists across 40 minutes during Thursday's 128-123 win over the Thunder.

De'Aaron Fox stole the show with his 41-point performance Thursday, but there's no question Sabonis played a prominent role in the win as well. Aside from containing the threat of Chet Holmgren, Sabonis was impressive on offense and played his usual facilitator role, ending just three dimes away from recording what would've been his third triple-double of the season. Sabonis is averaging 17.7 points, 14.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game since the start of December.

Sabonis logged 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 16 rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 131-118 win over the Nets.

Sabonis didn't have his best shooting performance in this one, but he still posted an outstanding fantasy line with his contributions in rebounds and assists. The star big man has posted four double-doubles in a row while also averaging 7.8 assists per game in that span. His elite two-way ability and above-average passing numbers make him an outstanding fantasy asset even when he has off nights from time to time.

Sabonis racked up 26 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 127-117 loss to the Pelicans.

Sabonis led all players in Monday's game in rebounds and assists while finishing as one of three Kings with 20 or more points in a triple-double performance. Sabonis has tallied a triple-double in two games this season and has scored 25 or more points on five occasions.

Sabonis closed Saturday's 123-117 victory over the Nuggets with 17 points (7-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 36 minutes.

Sabonis got back on the double-double train after missing the mark over the past two games. Squaring off against Nikola Jokic is no easy task, but Sabonis got the job done inside despite the stiff competition in the paint. Saboinis is having a career year so far, and has failed to log a double-double effort only four times over 18 games.

Sabonis chipped in 11 points (3-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 131-117 loss to the Clippers.

Sabonis has had some shaky performances on the scoreboard recently, and he's been held below 12 points in three of his last five appearances. While he's generally been able to salvage his fantasy production through his rebounds or assists, he struggled in those areas Wednesday with season-low marks in each category. He's shot just 45.3 percent from the floor over his last five outings, averaging 13.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 34.8 minutes per game.

Sabonis closed with 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals in 39 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 124-111 win over the Timberwolves.

The five steals plus blocks were a season high for Sabonis, who also delivered his 12th double-double (plus one triple-double) in 15 games. The 27-year-old big is enjoying a strong start to 2023-24 overall, averaging 19.9 points, 12.3 boards, 7.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, 0.9 steals and 0.5 threes while shooting 62.0 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from three-point range.

Sabonis notched 23 points (8-11 FG, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 loss to the Pelicans.

Sabonis ended one rebound short of an eighth straight double-double, but it was still another stellar all-around performance for the veteran center. Over his last eight games, Sabonis has averaged 23.5 points, 11.9 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 36.1 minutes per game. Aside from the rebounds, those would all be Sabonis' career-high marks, so it's clear the lefty big man is playing at an extremely high level to start 2023-24.

Sabonis registered 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and eight assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 129-93 loss to the Pelicans.

Given how poor the Kings' offense looked in this game, Sabonis delivered a decent performance -- he connected in 50 percent of his shots and ended just two assists away from reaching a triple-double. Fantasy managers would expect higher scoring numbers from one of the most productive big men in the league over the last few seasons, but he should be able to bounce back when the Kings take on the Pelicans in a rematch Wednesday.

Sabonis logged 32 points (13-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 13 rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 129-113 victory over the Mavericks.

Sabonis had a tough stretch earlier this month but has managed to bounce back admirably, as he has delivered three straight double-doubles while shooting an elite 74.5 percent from the field in that span. The return of De'Aaron Fox has softened the offensive burden on Sabonis' shoulders, and he's thriving as the team's second option behind the electric floor general.

Sabonis contributed 27 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 35 minutes during Friday's 129-120 win over San Antonio.

Sabonis has been a consistent force for the Kings in recent weeks, as he's posted five consecutive double-doubles while topping 20 points in four of those appearances. During that time, he's averaged 24.6 points, 12.6 rebounds and 9.2 assists in 37.4 minutes per game. Although De'Aaron Fox is back in action in the backcourt, Sabonis' frontcourt role hasn't diminished, and he should continue to be an integral part of the team's plans.

Sabonis racked up 29 points (13-19 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 125-110 victory over the Lakers.

Sabonis notched his eighth double-double of the season in another convincing win over the Lakers. Sabonis was able to move with little resistance in the interior, as it was apparent that Anthony Davis' hip injury was hindering his mobility somewhat. Sabonis is proving to be almost matchup-proof to begin the season, and can easily be considered one of the most productive centers in the league through the first month of the season.

Sabonis chipped in 23 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-11 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Monday's 132-120 victory over Cleveland.

The hits keep coming for Sabonis, as he was one rebound shy of his second consecutive triple-double. The elite big man is averaging 7.3 assists per game, and thanks to his massive rebound totals, triple-double bonuses are always possible. He's averaging a double-double with 18.0 points and 12.4 rebounds over nine games.

Sabonis registered 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocked shots and a steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 105-98 win over the Thunder.

Sabonis turned in his 15tth triple-double as a Sacramento King in the victory. The milestone was just around the corner, as Sabonis has collected more assists than usual amid the absence of De'Aaron Fox. The win makes the Kings 1-0 in West Group C of the Play-In Tournament.

Sabonis registered 27 points (11-14 FG, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 121-118 overtime win over Portland.

Sabonis got back on track after two subpar games in Houston. The much-improved Rockets had an answer for Sabonis, but he outplayed Portland's Deandre Ayton inside and helped out his teammates with nine assists. The increased dime-dropping is probably due to De'Aaron Fox's (ankle) absence, as the Kings need more help with ball distribution with Fox out of action.

Sabonis amassed eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and five assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 122-97 loss to the Rockets.

Sabonis failed to record a double-double for the first time this season, but perhaps more importantly, he was outplayed by Alperen Sengun for the second time in less than a week. Sabonis must bounce back when the Kings take on the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, as the team needs more out of him, especially if De'Aaron Fox (ankle) remains out.

Sabonis finished with 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 107-89 loss to the Rockets.

Sabonis went toe-to-toe with Alperen Sengun in a game where the entire Sacramento starting unit struggled, and while Sabonis had a decent stat line on the surface, he ended up being outplayed by Sengun when common sense dictates it should've been the other way around. Sabonis will continue to rack up stats every game and will remain valuable for fantasy purposes, but he needs to step up and be more of a leader when the team struggles, especially in games where De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is out. For what is worth, Sabonis now has five double-doubles in five outings while dishing out five or more assists in all but one of those performances.

Sabonis accumulated 23 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 11 rebounds and eight assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 102-101 loss to the Warriors.

Sabonis was expected to perform well against the undersized Warriors, and he delivered despite the loss. Sabonis has double-doubled in every game this season and got perilously close to a triple double against Golden State. The inflated assist total was likely due to the absence of De'Aaron Fox (ankle). Every player needs to absorb some of Fox's production while he is absent.

Sabonis fouled out of Sunday's 132-127 overtime win over the Lakers after recording 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 34 minutes.

Sabonis fouled out late in the game, but he was well on his way to a double-double before exiting. It's a great start to the season for Sabonis, who's averaging 17.7 points, 15.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists over his first three games.

Sabonis closed Friday's 122-114 loss to Golden State with 19 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 36 minutes.

Sabonis led all players with 18 boards in the contest, adding 19 points to notch his second straight double-double to begin the season. The big man also led Sacramento with seven assists, teasing his triple-double potential. Sabonis finished second in the NBA in that category with 14 triple-doubles last season, and he's started the current campaign looking like he hasn't missed a beat with averages of 20.5 points, 15.0 rebounds and 6.0 dimes through two contests.

Sabonis had 22 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and a steal over 32 minutes in Wednesday's 130-114 win over the Jazz.

Sabonis' 2023-24 season got off to a good start Wednesday as he shot an efficient 57.1 percent from the floor in the Kings' season opener. He's averaged a double-double in points and rebounds in each of the last four seasons and is well on his way to repeating that effort for the fifth straight year. Sacramento's playoff appearance last year was their first since the 2005-06 season and was driven in large part due to the All-Star production of Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox. The Kings will play the Warriors on Friday, the team that knocked them out of the first round of last year's playoffs.

Sabonis (rest) is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

No surprises here, as Sabonis sat out Sacramento's preseason finale for rest purposes but will suit up Wednesday. Sabonis will replace JaVale McGee in the starting five.

Sabonis (rest) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz.

Sabonis will get a break after appearing in four preseason games. He looked sharp in those exhibitions, averaging 12.0 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists. He should be fresh for Opening Night on Oct. 25 against Utah.

Sabonis logged 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds and eight assists across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 116-115 loss to the Warriors.

Double-doubles will be a regular occurrence for Sabonis, who led the league in double-doubles last season ahead of elites like Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Sabonis' move to Sacramento has turned the Kings into a legit contender, and his first full season with the club exceeded expectations. Unanimous Coach of the Year Mike Brown will keep Sabonis on the floor as much as possible as they attempt to make the playoffs for a second consecutive year.

Sabonis finished with 19 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes in Sunday's 121-115 preseason overtime loss to the Warriors.

Sabonis is an absolute double-double machine, and he keeps racking them up even in the preseason. The star big man has averaged a double-double in each of his last four seasons and aims to keep that streak going in 2023-24 as well.

Sabonis recorded 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 16 rebounds and five assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 preseason loss to the Lakers.

Sabonis posted a fairly well-rounded stat line during Sunday's preseason opener against the Raptors, but he saw increased playing time Wednesday and posted a solid double-double against the Lakers. The 27-year-old played through a fractured thumb over the second half of the 2022-23 campaign but was still a stellar contributor, averaging 19.1 points, 12.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists in 34.6 minutes per game over 79 appearances. He indicated in early October that he's fully healthy, so it seems unlikely that he'll face any restrictions to begin the regular season.

Sabonis is fully healed from an avulsion fracture in his right thumb, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis is questionable for Game 3 against the Warriors on Thursday due to a sternum contusion, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Sabonis injured his sternum in Game 2 when he grabbed onto Draymond Green's ankle and had Green stomp on his chest. Sabonis has played 35 and 40 minutes in the first two contests of the series and would be a massive loss to Sacramento if he's ruled out. Alex Len and Trey Lyles would be candidates to see extended minutes if the star big man is unable to suit up Thursday.

Sabonis ended up sitting out the extra period after fouling out in the fourth quarter, but he still managed to deliver an efficient double-double plus production in the defensive categories before departing. While Sabonis should be a pillar in the points, rebounds and field-goal percentages moving forward, his assist numbers have been less bankable of late. After a stretch of three straight games in which he dropped at least 10 dimes each time out, Sabonis has dished out 10 assists combined over his last three contests.

Sabonis ended Saturday's 129-127 loss to the 76ers with 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and 10 assists in 38 minutes.

However, this late of an addition doesn't usually turn out well in terms of the player's status, and it may be best to consider him a slight doubtful lean despite the questionable tag. At the very least, it's worth monitoring the big man's status and being prepared to swap him out if possible.

Sabonis notched his 25th double-double in the loss, although his scoring took a bit of a hit compared to some of his recent results. He reached double-digit rebounds despite a masterful showing from Steven Adams, who supplied 23 rebounds for the Grizzlies.

Sabonis racked up 28 points (12-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and eight assists over 37 minutes during Friday's 126-125 victory over the Jazz.

Sabonis couldn't miss Friday night - literally, going a perfect 12-of-12 from the field for 28 points as Sacramento pulled out the win in the final seconds. The Kings' center scored 13 points in the first half and 15 over the final two quarters while adding eight assists and a game-high 11 rebounds. Sabonis has now scored at least 20 points in three straight and has also gone 12 consecutive games with 10 or more rebounds.

Sabonis ended Wednesday's 127-126 win over Denver with 31 points (12-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes.

Sabonis picked right up where he left off, guiding the Kings to a narrow victory over the short-handed Nuggets. Despite playing with a finger injury, Sabonis has gone on record to say that he will attempt to stay on the court as much as possible. Given his recent play, managers have to be thrilled that he won't be sidelined for significant periods, although sporadic absences could certainly be upcoming.

Sabonis (thumb) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis will play with his right thumb fracture after missing Tuesday's game. The star big man will be without a minutes restriction.

Sabonis (thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Sabonis was unavailable Tuesday against Denver due to a right thumb avulsion fracture, but he'll be in the mix to return for the second half of the back-to-back set. He'd provide a significant boost to the Kings if he was able to return, as he's posted double-doubles in each of his last 10 appearances.

Sabonis (thumb) won't play in Tuesday's game against Denver, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Sabonis, who suffered a fractured right thumb during the Kings' loss to the Wizards on Friday, will miss his first contest of the season. In his place, Richaun Holmes will presumably garner the starting nod and see increased run versus the Nuggets. Moving forward, Sabonis will presumably be tabbed questionable for the second game of the Kings' back-to-back Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Sabonis (thumb) didn't participate in the Kings' morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday, but his lack of participation suggests he's trending toward sitting out. If the star big man is sidelined, Richaun Holmes, Neemias Queta, Chimezie Metu and Trey Lyles are all candidates for increased roles.

Sabonis has been diagnosed with an avulsion fracture of the ulnar collateral ligament of the right thumb and has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Sabonis will attempt to play through the injury, and it's uncertain whether he'll be able to feature against the Nuggets, with his pain tolerance being a driving factor in deciding whether he'll be available or not. If he can't go Tuesday, then Alex Len would jump into the starting unit, as it was the case during Monday's practice.

Sabonis suffered a right hand injury and will undergo further testing to determine treatment options, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

It is currently unclear how much time, if any, Sabonis will be forced to miss. The star big man suffered his injury during Friday's loss to the Wizards. Richaun Holmes, Neemias Queta and Chimezie Metu will likely receive larger roles if Sabonis is out for an extended time. Fantasy managers should check for updated reports ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets to see if he has suffered a serious injury or can play through the pain.

Sabonis totaled 20 points (5-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 15 rebounds and 10 assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Wizards.

Sabonis led all players in the contest with 15 boards and 10 assists while also posting 20 points. He had a hard time getting his shot to fall from the field but was a perfect 10-for-10 from the charity stripe. This performance came on the heels of Sabonis' 13-21-12 line against the Lakers in his previous game, and he now has three total triple-doubles this season -- tied for third-most in the league.

Sabonis chipped in 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 21 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 134-120 victory over the Lakers.

Sabonis is on a red-hot tear, and he's now recorded nine consecutive double-doubles sue to his monstrous rebound totals. Thanks to his amazing string of performances, he's now averaging 17.9 points, 12.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists.

Sabonis (hand) is active Wednesday against the Lakers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis has avoided the worst-case scenario and will return to the lineup despite injuring his left hand in Monday's game against Charlotte. The center has tallied eight straight double-doubles and has averaged 20.8 points and 15.6 rebounds during that span.

Sabonis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to left hand soreness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis likely suffered the injury sometime during his monster 28-point, 23-rebound, seven-assist performance against the Hornets on Monday. The center is officially deemed questionable and will likely be a game-time call ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Lakers. If Sabonis is held out, Chimezie Metu will presumably garner the start.

Sabonis recorded 28 points (12-19 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 23 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Monday's 125-119 loss to the Hornets.

Sabonis put up season highs with 28 points and 23 boards in the loss, and he came close to a triple-double by adding seven assists. This was his third 20-20 effort of the campaign, two of which have come in his past three games. Sabonis has recorded eight consecutive double-doubles, and he leads the NBA in that category with 21 on the campaign.

Sabonis ended with 23 points (9-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 41 minutes during Friday's 122-113 victory over the Pistons.

Sabonis has been a fantasy monster lately. His performance Friday night gave him his seventh double-double in as many games. His shooting efficiency has been incredible lately and he's even contributing decent defensive stats. During the month of December, the two-time NBA All-star is shooting an impressive 73.2 percent, and is averaging 20.3 points, 13.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.

Sabonis racked up 21 points (10-13 FG, 1-1 FT), 20 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 124-123 win over the Raptors.

Another game, another double-double for Sabonis, who has reached that feat in six consecutive games and nine of his last 11 outings. The big man has been on a tear this month and is averaging 19.9 points, 13.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game during December.

Sabonis provided 22 points (8-10 FG, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 123-103 loss to the 76ers.

The Kings got buried in the first half and were staring at an 80-55 deficit heading into the break, but Sabonis was still able to put together a strong line on the night. The double-double was the 17th of the season for the 26-year-old center, with one triple-double in the mix for good measure, and over the last 12 games he's averaging 16.9 points, 11.8 boards and 6.9 assists.

Sabonis closed with 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-11 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists over 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 loss to the Knicks.

Sabonis turned in a nice shooting line and secured nine of his 12 boards on the defensive end. He's now registered a double-double in five of his last six contests, averaging 17.8 points, 12.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 32.8 minuutes over this stretch.

Sabonis chipped in 18 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-14 FT), 18 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 106-95 victory over the Cavaliers.

Sabonis was clearly the best player on the floor in the win, putting together another strong performance. In fact, over the past two weeks, he has been a first-round talent thanks to averages of 17.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 2.0 combined steals and blocks. While this could be viewed as a sell-high opportunity, it is unlikely anyone is going to give up a top-20 player in a trade. Managers may simply want to hang on and see where this goes.

Sabonis supplied 23 points (9-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to Milwaukee.

Sabonis ended just three assists shy from posting a second straight triple-double, and the star big man continues to have a strong season as the Kings' go-to player on offense. Sabonis has recorded at least a double-double in eight of his last nine outings, and his numbers have been excellent during that span. He's averaging 15.9 points, 11.3 rebounds and 7.6 assists per contest while shooting 65.9 percent from the field and 53.8 percent from deep in that stretch.

Sabonis closed with 11 points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 17 rebounds and 10 assists across 36 minutes during Sunday's 110-101 win over the Bulls.

Sabonis ended with a triple-double in the win, although it's fair to say it was not the most impressive of efforts. As per usual, he offered nothing on the defensive end and was unusually passive on offense, attempting only four shots. Nonetheless, managers have to be thrilled with his production, putting up top-15 value over the past week. The Kings are rolling right now, having won 10 of their past 13 games. Sabonis is key to their success and should continue to feature heavily as they push for an elusive playoff berth.

Sabonis finished with 24 points (10-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 26 minutes during Saturday's 123-96 victory over the Clippers.

Sabonis poured in a team-high 24 points on a near-perfect shooting night. He also stuffed the stat sheet, which included his second two-block game over his last three contests. The Gonzaga product has scored in double figures in each of his last five matchups, averaging 17.0 points, 9.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists in 30.6 minutes.

Sabonis supplied 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 122-117 loss to Phoenix.

Sabonis posted a great all-around line in the contest, supplementing his 17/10/9 mark with a pair of swats and a steal. He was also very efficient from the field, making eight of 10 shot attempts. Sabonis has yet to register a triple-double this season after doing so five times last year; however, he's recorded 12 double-doubles, tied for second-most in the league.

Sabonis supplied 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 122-104 loss to Boston.

Sabonis pulled in double-digit rebounds for the fourth consecutive contest, while nearly leading Sacramento in scoring as well. Overall, the Kings offense was held in check by Boston, and another difficult matchup is on tap against Phoenix on Monday.

Sabonis supplied 15 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 loss to the Hawks.

Sabonis only got off five shots in the first half and hit three of them, along with 2-of-2 free-throw attempts for eight points at the break. He did, however, establish his presence on the glass with 10 first-half rebounds before adding another four boards over the final two quarters to give him a team-high 13 on the night. The Kings forward also dished out seven dimes in the contest, his third consecutive game with at least seven assists, though it wasn't enough as Sacramento failed to keep their seven-game winning streak alive.

Sabonis closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 13 rebounds and eight assists across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 win over Memphis.

Sabonis started the game strong by recording seven points in the first half, but he tallied only two points during the final two quarters. The 26-year-old had scored in double figures in each of his previous nine matchups heading into Tuesday's clash, so this was an outlier performance for the Gonzaga product.

Sabonis produced 26 points (10-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 22 rebounds and eight assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 win over Golden State.

Sabonis was a beast on the glass, hauling in a season-high 22 rebounds. He also came within two assists of a triple-double, capping off what was arguably his best performance of the season. In typical fashion, he offered nothing on the defensive end, something that managers should be used to by now. After a slow start he has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games, and five of his last six. He sits as the 39th ranked player thus far, a range he should be able to occupy most of the season.

Sabonis recorded 21 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 victory over the Cavaliers.

Sabonis wasn't overwhelming Wednesday, but his 21 points were enough to lead Sacramento in a game during which seven different Kings players scored between 14 and 21 points. The big man had a four-game streak of double-digit boards snapped, but he dished out exactly six assists for the third straight contest and notched a season-high three steals. Sabonis has provided value across multiple categories this season, averaging 16.8 points, 10.4 boards, 6.1 dimes, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks through 10 games.

Sabonis finished with 19 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 116-113 loss to the Warriors.

Sabonis didn't have his best shooting performance since he needed 15 shots just to score 19 points, but he made up for that lack of efficiency with solid numbers on the glass (second-best mark of the season) and as a playmaker. He's now posted three straight double-doubles with at least six dimes, and he's been an absolute stud in fantasy due to his ability to contribute in several categories with ease. Through nine games, Sabonis is averaging 16.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 6.1 assists per contest.

Sabonis finished with 25 points (10-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-12 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 overtime victory over the Magic.

Sabonis had a great night shooting the ball from everywhere but the foul line, going 10-of-14 from the field while knocking down just five of 12 free throw attempts. The Kings center played a key role in keeping his team alive in the contest, including in the first quarter when he scored seven of nine consecutive points for the Kings to bring them back within three. It was Sabonis' highest-scoring output of the season and the second game in a row with a double-double.

Sabonis registered 22 points (8-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 loss to Miami.

Sabonis had a big first quarter, knocking down four of his six shots for eight points, with two easy buckets coming off assists from Malik Monk. The Kings power forward also racked up five of his game-high 12 rebounds (tied with Tyler Herro) in the quarter and added another five boards in the third quarter as Sacramento and Miami traded leads in the second half. Sabonis only made one of two field goals in the fourth quarter, though he did knock down all four of his free throw attempts to give him six points in the period, as the Kings fell to the Heat to take their fifth loss of the season.

Sabonis contributed nine points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 31 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 115-108 win over the Hornets.

Sabonis fouled out in the win, although he was still able to put up meaningful contributions. Efficiency was an issue, something he has been able to largely avoid thus far this season, at least from the field. He is still adjusting to playing under Mike Brown, something that should come around at some point in the near future.

Sabonis totaled 19 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 loss to Golden State.

Sabonis recorded his second consecutive double-double, leading Sacramento in rebounding while finishing second on the team in scoring Sunday. Sabonis is averaging 14.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists in three contests.

Sabonis finished with 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 loss to the Clippers.

Sabonis partially redeemed himself in his second game with a more characteristic result. Still, Sabonis lacks the fantasy pop that he demonstrated several times last season. Fantasy managers should be patient, as his numbers are bound to climb, and Saturday's double-double was an encouraging sign.

Sabonis contributed 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 115-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Next to Jerami Grant's performance, Sabonis' sub-par showing was the biggest surprise of the evening. The Trail Blazers applied maximum pressure to the big man, and he eventually fouled out to end a frustrating evening. His four-rebound result marked his worst regular-season performance in the category since last December, as a Pacer against Miami.

Sabonis missed Saturday's practice due to a personal matter but should be available for Sunday's exhibition against the Trail Blazers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

The two-time All-Star shouldn't miss any time beyond Saturday due to the issue. In his first preseason appearance, he posted four points, five rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 15 minutes.

Sabonis logged four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots across 15 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition win over the Lakers.

The Kings will probably play it safe with Sabonis throughout the preseason after ending the 3021-22 campaign with a knee injury. The team made a huge investment in bringing Sabonis to Sacramento, so expect his exhibition minutes to be capped so he is ready to go once season play gets under way.

Sabonis logged four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots across 15 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition win over the Lakers.

The Kings will probably play it safe with Sabonis throughout the preseason after he ended the 2021-22 campaign with a knee injury. The team made a considerable investment in bringing Sabonis to Sacramento, so expect his exhibition minutes to be capped so he is fresh for the regular season.

Sabonis (knee) is out Sunday against the Suns.

Sabonis hasn't made an appearance since March 20. In his absence, Damian Jones figures to remain in the starting lineup for the regular-season finale.

Sabonis (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game against New Orleans, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis will miss another game due to a knee injury suffered March 20 against the Suns. He'll have just two more chances to return before the regular season comes to a close.

Sabonis (knee) is out Sunday against the Warriors.

Sabonis is running out of chances to return, as the Kings have just three more regular-season games after Sunday. In his absence, Damian Jones and Trey Lyles should continue seeing elevated usage.

Sabonis has been diagnosed with a left bruised knee and won't travel with the team on the upcoming five-game road trip, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

This is positive news for Sabonis, as further imaging showed no structural damage to his knee, per Wojnarowski. He's set to undergo a re-evaluation on April 2 when the team returns from the road. In Sabonis' absence, look for Damian Jones and Alex Len to be more heavily leaned on at center.

Sabonis departed Sunday's game against the Suns in the fourth quarter with a left knee injury and will not return, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Sabonis sustained a knee-to-knee collision with Mikal Bridges late in the fourth quarter, and while he initially attempted to play through the pain, he eventually fell to the floor and was taken back to the locker room for further evaluation. Prior to exiting, Sabonis posted 18 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 31 minutes of action. The Kings are off Monday and Tuesday, so for now consider Sabonis questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Pacers in Indianapolis.

Sabonis racked up 30 points (12-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 20 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 126-97 loss to the Celtics.

With no De'Aaron Fox (hand), Sabonis took matters into his own hands as the clear No. 1 option for the Kings. While Sacramento hasn't exactly been winning more games since the big man arrived via trade, his production has been impressive. Over his last 14 games, Sabonis is posting 18.9 points, 12.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and shooting 55.2 percent from the field.

Sabonis finished with 22 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-13 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 135-126 loss to the Bucks.

Sabonis did much of his damage from the free-throw line, knocking down 10 shots in 13 attempts. He also tied for the team lead with seven assists, though he was uncharacteristically quiet on the boards, finishing with his lowest rebound total since Dec. 21. Defensive stats aside, Sabonis can typically be counted on for contributions across the board, as he is averaging 18.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.8 dimes in 13 games with Sacramento.

Sabonis racked up 22 points (6-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 112-103 win over the Bulls.

Sabonis returned after a one-day suspension and another day to witness the birth of his first child. Although Nikola Vucevic posted an excellent stat line and won the rebound battle inside, Sabonis still got his share of production. Since joining the Kings, Sabonis has averaged 17.8 points, 12.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists.

Sabonis is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Bulls.

Sabonis missed the Kings' last two games due to a combination of a suspension and a personal matter, but his absence from the report implies that he'll be back in action Monday night. Prior to the two-game absence, Sabonis had recorded a double-double in eight straight contests.

Sabonis is out Saturday against the Jazz for personal reasons.

Sabonis will miss a second straight game after being suspended, but this time it's for personal reasons. Richaun Holmes should step into a bigger role.

Sabonis has been suspended one game for aggressively confronting and making contact with a game official.

Sabonis was ejected from Monday's game against the Knicks late in the fourth quarter, and he'll be unavailable for Monday's matchup against the Nuggets. Richaun Holmes (personal) is also sidelined, so Damian Jones, Trey Lyles and Alex Len should see increased run in the frontcourt. Sabonis should be back in action Saturday against the Jazz.

Sabonis was ejected from Monday's game against the Knicks after being assessed two technical fouls. His night ends with 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3PT, 7-9 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists over 37 minutes.

Sabonis' exit won't be much of a detriment to his team, as the Kings were already down big late in the fourth quarter. He's now registered eight consecutive double-doubles and continues to also add value for fantasy managers in the assist column, averaging 6.4 dimes over the eight-game stretch.

Sabonis scored 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-5 FT) while adding 10 rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 loss to the Mavericks.

The 26-year-old reeled off his seventh straight double-double and ninth in 10 games since joining the Kings at the trade deadline, and Sabonis only missed making it 10-for-10 by a single point and single board in the other contest. He's averaging 17.2 points, 12.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists to begin his tenure in Sacramento.

Sabonis racked up 14 points (7-8 FG), 16 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 131-110 win over the Thunder.

Sabonis' 14/16/7 line was a carbon copy of the production he posted in his previous contest, which took place Saturday against Denver. The big man's status as one of the league's top passing centers hasn't suffered as a result of his trade to the Kings. In fact, Sabonis' 5.9 dimes per contest as a member of Sacramento is slightly higher than the 5.0 mark he posted across 47 games with Indiana earlier this season.

Sabonis ended with 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Nuggets.

Sabonis wasn't as dominant offensively as he was in his 33-point effort against Denver on Thursday, but he still made a big impact on the game. The star center led all players with 16 boards while dishing seven assists in a near triple-double. Sabonis has produced five double-doubles in six games since joining the Kings on Feb. 8.

Sabonis racked up 33 points (15-23 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 128-110 loss to Denver.

Sabonis had been solid but unspectacular in his first four games with Sacramento, averaging 17.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per contest. He broke through with a big scoring effort Thursday, eclipsing the 30-point mark for the first time since scoring 42 against the Jazz as a member of the Pacers on Jan. 8. The big man also led all players in the contest with 14 boards and paced the Kings with five dimes. Needless to say, fantasy managers who roster Sabonis will be more than pleased if he maintains anywhere near this type of production over the second half of the campaign.

Sabonis accumulated 22 points (10-15 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Bulls.

After a disappointing nine-point performance Monday, Sabonis had in incredible comeback performance ending just two assists shy of a triple-double. The 25-year-old is now averaging 17.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists through his first four games with the Kings. As All-Star Weekend has arrived, Sabonis will now have a full week to further settle in with his new team.

Sabonis supplied nine points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 109-85 loss to Brooklyn. He also had three turnovers

Sabonis connected on under half his shots for just the third time across his past 15 games. Monday's lack of production is an outlier, but Sacramento being thoroughly outplayed by Seth Curry and Brooklyn's backup options is symbolic of the dysfunction that presides. It's a factor that will likely add volatility to Sabonis' day-to-day production.

Sabonis ended with 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and seven assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 123-110 win over the Wizards.

Sabonis continues to display his impressive all-around ability after being traded from Indiana to Sacramento before the deadline, and he has two double-doubles with at least five assists in his first two performances wearing a Kings uniform. The star big man has seven double-doubles across his last eight appearances if including his final games with the Pacers, and he should be considered a double-double threat every time he steps on the hardwood given how good he's been playing of late.

Sabonis chipped in 22 points (10-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 132-119 victory over Minnesota.

In his first game since being traded from Indiana to Sacramento on Tuesday, Sabonis led his new team in rebounds and finished with his 35th double-double of the campaign. That number is tied with Rudy Gobert for second-most in the NBA, behind only Nikola Jokic, who has produced 42 double-doubles. Sabonis appears to have had no trouble fitting in with the Kings and should get every opportunity to continue posting big numbers moving forward.

Sabonis (pending trade) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

The trade with the Pacers has officially gone through, allowing Sabonis, Justin Holiday and Jeremy Lamb to suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Minnesota. Sabonis averaged 18.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.7 minutes in 47 games for the Pacers this season, and he should operate as the co-No. 1 option for Sacramento alongside guard De'Aaron Fox.

Coach Alvin Gentry said it remains unclear whether Sabonis (pending trade) will be available for Wednesday's matchup with Minnesota, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday have all passed their physical examinations after being acquired by the Kings earlier this week, but the players sent to the Pacers are apparently still awaiting medical approval, per Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com. Sabonis, Lamb and Holiday should make their debut Wednesday for Sacramento if the trade is finalized prior to the 10 p.m. ET opening tip, otherwise the trio will need to wait until Saturday at Washington.

Sabonis was traded to the Kings on Tuesday, along with Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday and a future second-round pick, in exchange for Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Sabonis' name has been tossed around in trade rumors for the last several months, and he now finds himself on the move after four-and-a-half years in Indiana. One of the best offensive big men in the league, Sabonis averaged 18.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals through 47 games in a Pacers uniform this season. He goes from one non-contending team to another, so in terms of the basketball situation, not a whole lot should change for Sabonis over the final two months of the season. Assuming his workload is not limited for draft-pick-improvement purposes, Sabonis should function as the co-No. 1 option alongside De'Aaron Fox (ankle) in Sacramento.

Sabonis (COVID-19 protocols) played 26 minutes and finished with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists Sunday in the Pacers' 98-85 loss to the Cavaliers.

Sabonis made only his third appearance of the past two and a half weeks, as the two-time All-Star missed four games with a sprained left ankle and three more after testing positive for COVID-19. In his first game since exiting the health and safety protocols, Sabonis appeared to have a light playing-time restriction in place, but he shouldn't face any limitations in the games to come. Unless Indiana ships him elsewhere ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline, Sabonis seemingly has the upside to increase his season-long averages of 18.9 points and 5.0 assists per game. Myles Turner (foot), T.J. Warren (foot), T.J. McConnell (wrist) are out indefinitely, the newly acquired Ricky Rubio (knee) is out for the season and Malcolm Brogdon has played just two games since December due to a recurring Achilles issue that could result in him being shut down at some point. Meanwhile, the Pacers dealt Caris LeVert away to the Cavaliers on Sunday, leaving Sabonis as one of the few healthy players on the roster capable of shoulde

Coach Rick Carlisle said Sabonis (COVID-19 protocols) will be available for Sunday's contest against the Cavaliers, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.

Sabonis has missed the past three games due to protocols, but he'll be back in the mix Sunday. It's possible he'll be limited during his return to action, but that remains to be seen. In January, the talented big man averaged 22.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists in 37.3 minutes per game.

Sabonis (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Sabonis has missed the past three games due to protocols. If available, he could be on a minutes limit. His January was excellent, as he averaged 22.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists in 37.3 minutes.

Sabonis is listed as out for Monday's contest against the Clippers due to the NBA's health and safety protocols.

Sabonis presumably landed in COVID-19 protocols Monday and may be sidelined for the entirety of the Pacers' upcoming four-game week. Backups Goga Bitadze (foot) and Oshae Brissett (ankle) are both questionable, so Indiana may have to rely heavily on Isaiah Jackson.

Sabonis amassed 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 29 minutes during Saturday's 132-105 loss to the Mavericks.

Although a four-game absence occurred during his double-double streak, the ankle injury that sidelined him didn't seem to have much effect despite the heavy load he has to carry. He's now a full-time starter at the five due to Myles Turner's (foot) extended absence. Fantasy managers should expect an exceptionally-high rebound average while Turner is sidelined.

Sabonis (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Coach Rick Carlisle expressed optimism prior to Saturday's matchup that Sabonis would be able to suit up, and the 25-year-old will officially be available. He played 44 minutes Friday against the Thunder in spite of his ankle injury, so it's unlikely that he'll be limited by the issue against Dallas.

Coach Rick Carlisle said that he thinks Sabonis (ankle) will be able to play Saturday against the Mavericks, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

A previous report indicated that Sabonis would be available for Saturday's matchup, but the status came from Carlisle's pregame comment. Although the 25-year-old's status isn't yet official, he'll likely be able to suit up once again.

Sabonis (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Sabonis will be able to play through a sprained left ankle once again. It's unlikely that he'll face any restrictions Saturday since he played 44 minutes in Friday's overtime win over Oklahoma City.

Sabonis (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Sabonis continues to deal with a left ankle sprain, but he played 44 minutes in Friday's overtime win over the Thunder in spite of the injury. If the 25-year-old sits out Saturday, Isaiah Jackson and Oshae Brissett should see plenty of work since Goga Bitadze (foot) is unavailable.

Sabonis (ankle) tallied 24 points (9-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 18 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks in 44 minutes Friday in the Pacers' 113-110 overtime win over the Thunder.

While Sabonis' fifth triple-double of the season along with the defensive production are certainly nice, the Pacers' willingness to play him massive minutes coming off a four-game absence suggests the organization is confident he's moved past the sprained left ankle. Optimism about Sabonis' health would be backed up by him playing in the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday in Dallas, but even if he sits out, it would likely be more for rest purposes than a result of any setback.

Sabonis (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Coach Rick Carlisle said prior to Friday's matchup that he expected Sabonis would be able to play, and he'll officially return from a four-game absence. He's in the starting lineup, but it's not yet clear whether he could have a minutes restriction.

Sabonis (ankle) is expected to play Friday against the Thunder, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.

Sabonis' return isn't official yet, but coach Rick Carlisle said he thinks the big man is playing. Sabonis has missed the past four games due to a sprained left ankle. With his return, less usage will be available for Goga Bitadze, Isaiah Jackson, Oshae Brissett and Torrey Craig.

Sabonis (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Sabonis participated in Thursday's practice session and will have a chance to return to the court after missing the last four games with a sprained left ankle. If he remains out Friday, Goga Bitadze and Isaiah Jackson should see increased run once again.

Sabonis (ankle) participated in Thursday's practice session, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Sabonis has missed a week due to a left ankle sprain, but it was encouraging to see him back on the court for practice Thursday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's game against Oklahoma City, but he appears to be progressing toward a return in the near future.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said prior to Thursday's 121-117 overtime win over the Warriors that Sabonis (ankle) will miss "a few games," James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Sabonis, who was sidelined for just the second time all season Thursday after spraining his left ankle late in the Pacers' win over the Lakers a night prior, will almost certainly miss the remaining two games of Indiana's road trip. Expect the big man to be re-evaluated when the Pacers return to Indiana on Tuesday, but he should be viewed as far from a lock to make it back in action for Wednesday's home game versus the Hornets. Goga Bitadze started at center Thursday in place of Sabonis, recording 13 points, nine rebounds, five assists and one block in 31 minutes before being ejected in the second half.

Sabonis (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Golden State.

It's not much of a surprise Sabonis won't be available for the second half of the back-to-back set, as the left ankle sprain he suffered during Wednesday's win over the Lakers was labeled potentially "significant" by coach Rick Carlisle. An official diagnosis for the injury has yet to be announced, but the 25-year-old will be sidelined for at least one game, though a longer absence seems likely. Goga Bitadze and Oshae Brissett should split time at center for Indiana, which is already without Myles Turner (foot) for the next couple weeks.

Head coach Rick Carlisle said after Wednesday's 111-104 win over the Lakers that Sabonis played through a sprained ankle that is "probably going to be significant," Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Sabonis came away with his fourth triple-double of the season (20 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists) while playing his normal minutes (35) and leading the Pacers to a win that Carlisle described as "desperately needed," but if the big man's injury was as severe as the coach intimated, it would go down as a Pyrrhic victory. The Pacers will presumably send Sabonis in for further examinations Thursday, but even if the injury doesn't prove to be as worrisome as Carlisle implied, he'll likely be a candidate to sit out the second half of the back-to-back set in Golden State as a precaution. Indiana would turn to a combination of Goga Bitadze, Isaiah Jackson and Oshae Brissett to fill minutes at center if Sabonis joins Myles Turner (foot) on the sideline.

Sabonis ended with 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 111-104 win over the Lakers.

Sabonis flashed all of his skills in the comeback win, finishing with his fourth triple-double of the campaign. The big man has grabbed double-digit boards in three straight contests and has scored at least 14 points in each game during that span. Sabonis is averaging 22.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.1 three-pointers through nine contests in 2022.

Sabonis finished Monday's 139-133 loss to the Clippers with 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in 34 minutes.

Sabonis collected his second consecutive double-double in the loss, putting up his best scoring performance since his 42-point outburst Jan. 8 against Utah. The Gonzaga product continues to put together strong final lines for his squad, averaging 20.6 points, 11.8 boards and 6.4 assists over his last five, though Indiana has struggled over the last four games against tough competition. Things won't get any easier for the Pacers Wednesday against the Lakers, where Sabonis should once again be relied upon heavily.

Sabonis supplied 11 points (3-12 FG, 5-6 FT), 23 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 45 minutes during Monday's 101-98 overtime loss to the Celtics.

Sabonis overcame subdued offensive numbers through a ridiculous effort on the glass, key orchestration of the offensive, and impressive defense in a comeback win. The addition of Lance Stephenson has boosted the Pacers' offensive, and Sabonis has been reaping the benefits of late.

Sabonis provided 42 points (18-22 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 win over Utah.

Sabonis was coming off a triple-double against the Nets on Jan. 5 and looked impressive once again, missing just four of his 22 field goals en route to a season-high mark in scoring. Sabonis has been on a tear of late and has scored 30 or more points in three of his last four contests.

Sabonis amassed 32 points (10-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 12 rebounds and 10 assists across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 129-121 loss to the Nets.

Sabonis delivered his second triple-double of the campaign in efficient fashion, as he attempted only 14 shots and took advantage of his opportunities at the charity stripe. He also tied his second-highest scoring output of the season. Sabonis has averaged 26.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists through Indiana's first three games of January.

Sabonis amassed 32 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 39 minutes during Sunday's 108-104 loss to the Cavaliers.

Sabonis won the day inside against some stiff frontcourt competition, but it wasn't enough to beat the Cavaliers, who stole the lead away from the Pacers in the third quarter. Twelve of Sabonis' last 13 games have resulted in double-doubles, and he's also posting enough assists to be a nightly triple-double threat.

Sabonis recorded 24 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal in 40 minutes during Friday's 108-106 loss to the Bulls.

Sabonis led the Pacers on the boards and finished second on the team in scoring during Friday's narrow defeat. The 25-year-old hasn't missed a beat in his three appearances since returning from a one-game absence, and he's averaged 17.7 points, 16.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 37.3 minutes per contest during that time.

Sabonis posted 15 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-14 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 loss to the Hornets. He also had six turnovers.

Sabonis was uncharacteristically quiet from the field, as well as below average at the charity stripe. Additionally, he sunk deeper into a slump from beyond the arc, now shooting just 27.7 percent from three this season. The Bulls, who recently held Sabonis to 5-of-17 shooting, are on deck Friday.

Sabonis accumulated 14 points (5-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 loss to Chicago.

Making his return to action after a one-game absence, Sabonis slotted back into the lineup and picked up where he left off with his 24th double-double of the season. Trade rumors have surrounded the Pacers for the last several weeks, and while there's a chance Sabonis could be on the move before February's deadline, he should continue to be one of the league's most productive big men. For the second straight season, Sabonis is averaging at least 18.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals. He's also shooting 58 percent from the field -- up from 53.5 percent a year ago.

Sabonis (calf) is active for Sunday's contest against the Bulls, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The dynamic forward missed the team's last contest and came into Sunday questionable with a calf injury. However, Sabonis will suit up for Sunday's contest against the Bulls. In fact, the Gonzaga product may be in a solid spot to put up monster fantasy numbers Sunday as fellow teammate Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) has been ruled out. Sabonis figures to take Oshae Brissett's spot in the starting lineup.

Sabonis (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bulls.

Sabonis sat out the Pacers' previous game due to a sore right calf. If he's out again, Oshae Brisset might draw another start.

Sabonis (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Sabonis will be forced to miss his first game of the season due to a right calf injury. More minutes should be available for Kelan Martin, Torrey Craig and Oshae Brissett on Thursday.

Sabonis had 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and six assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 122-113 victory over the Pistons.

Sabonis putting forth an efficient and well-rounded effort is like clockwork. The 25-year-old is fantasy's top asset at the power forward position. He's a bonafide star fantasy aside, ranking sixth in the league in win shares -- between Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry.

Sabonis closed Monday's 102-100 loss to Golden State with 30 points (12-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and two steals over 36 minutes.

Sabonis led the Pacers with 30 points in an efficient shooting night, though he did shoot below his season average at the charity stripe (76.2 percent). This is the second time in four games he's put up 30 points, as he also dropped 30 on Dec. 6 against Washington. Following Monday's loss, Sabonis has turned in seven straight double-doubles.

Sabonis totaled 24 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 106-93 victory over the Mavericks.

Sabonis has now topped 20 points in four of the last five contests, and he's recorded six consecutive double-doubles. The 25-year-old has shot 75.9 percent from the floor across his last five appearances and has remained consistently productive from a fantasy perspective.

Sabonis accumulated 30 points (11-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 116-110 win over the Wizards.

This is the usage fantasy managers want and deserve from Sabonis. The big man was dominate against the Wizards, recording his fourth consecutive double-double and his first 30-point game sine the season opener. He's in a solid spot to repeat the performance against the undersized Knicks on Wednesday.

Sabonis totaled 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 113-104 loss to the Heat.

Sabonis surprisingly came off the bench in Friday's matchup since he was tending to a family matter early in the game. However, he still saw plenty of playing time and posted a strong double-double against the Heat. He's now recorded double-doubles in seven of the last eight games and has averaged 16.8 points, 14.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 31.6 minutes per game during that time. The 25-year-old will presumably reclaim his starting role going forward.

Sabonis (personal) has checked into Friday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Sabonis didn't start Friday's game since he was tending to a family matter, but he wasn't forced to miss much time. He should be able to handle a full workload against Miami.

Sabonis wasn't seen on the Pacers' bench ahead of Friday's game against the Heat, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Sabonis was initially listed as a starter for Friday's matchup, but Torrey Craig ultimately drew the start for the Pacers. It's not yet clear whether Sabonis will be available against Miami.

Sabonis boomed for 16 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 25 rebounds, 10 assists and a block over 36 minutes during Monday's 100-98 loss to the Timberwolves.

Sabonis recorded the first triple-double featuring 25 rebounds since a man named Shaquille O'Neal did it in 1993. The Pacers squandered it however, blowing a double-digit lead in the third quarter and ultimately losing the game. Sabonis would likely be in the midst of a career-best season, but his usage rate is at its lowest since 2017/2018 when he was only playing 24.5 minutes per game. A shift in utilization would propel him into the top echelon of fantasy performers

Sabonis accumulated 23 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 114-97 win over the Raptors.

Sabonis has recorded double-doubles in four straight games and in seven of his last eight contests, so there's no question he's been an asset for the Pacers on both ends of the court. The European big man is averaging 16.6 points and 11.6 rebounds per game through 14 appearances this month.

Sabonis posted 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and a steal in a 124-116 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday.

Sabonis matched a season-high six assists, but taking only nine shots in a double-overtime shootout isn't an ideal fantasy trajectory. Currently averaging 12.2 shot attempts per game, that makes his lowest figure since the 2018/19 season. However, Sabonis ranks fifth in the league in total playing time and remains the centerpiece of the Pacers -- making this a viable buy-low window.

Sabonis totaled 21 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 109-77 win over the Bulls.

Sabonis' putting a double-double isn't surprising considering he's achieved that feat in five of his last six games, but his efficiency was noticeable since he played slightly more than an entire half yet he surpassed the 20-point mark. The Lithuanian big man is averaging 16.3 points and 11.1 rebounds per game across 12 games this month.

Sabonis finished with 20 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Saturday's 111-94 victory over the Pelicans.

Sabonis finally got things moving in the right direction as the Pacers rolled through a disappointing Pelicans outfit. After a fast start to the season, Sabonis has cooled off substantially over the past two weeks. The playing time was limited in this one, although, that was purely as a result of the score discrepancy. The Pacers will travel to Chicago to face the Bulls on Monday, another matchup in which Sabonis could thrive.

Sabonis recorded 15 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and a block across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 97-89 loss to the Pistons.

Sabonis has now posted a double-double in six of his last seven games and has seemingly picked up right where he left off last season in terms of production. Provided he stays healthy, Sabonis figures to be positioned among the league leaders in double-doubles by the end of the season. The big man is averaging 18.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals in 36.0 minutes per game this season.

Sabonis supplied 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 92-84 loss to the Knicks.

Sabonis was among the league leaders in double-doubles last season and that trend is not likely to stop in 2021-22, as he has accomplished that feat in five of his last six appearances and in all but five of his 15 games. The star big man is averaging 18.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game this season.

Sabonis had 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and five assists across 30 minutes during Saturday's 118-113 win over Philadelphia.

Sabonis recorded a double-double for the fourth time over his last five games, and he has completed that milestone in nine of his 14 games already. A bonafide two-way threat that can fill up the stat sheet on any given game, Sabonis has gone six straight games without surpassing the 20-point plateau but that hasn't had any sort of impact on his upside. It's still early on the season, but he's averaging a double-double for the third year in a row.

Sabonis accumulated 20 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in a 101-98 loss to the Nuggets.

Sabonis was one rebound away from a 20-20 game. En route to this stat line, he made his first three in five games, having shot 0-for-10 over his previous four games. Although he is struggling from beyond the arc (22.2 percent), that figure is likely to climb. Sabonis is nonetheless exceeding par with a 58.9 shooting percentage. Utah and Rudy Gobert will present a much more difficult task on Friday.

Sabonis recorded 17 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Sunday's win over the Kings.

Sabonis has scored at least 15 points in all but one of his last six games, and he has recorded four double-doubles in that span as well. Sabonis' ability to fill the stat sheet is admirable, but his scoring figures have not been on par with what he's done in past seasons. He's still averaging a double-double with 19.3 points and 10.9 rebounds per game so far.

Sabonis finished Friday's loss to Portland with 15 points (7-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds and four assists.

The big man notched his sixth double-double of the young season, but he did commit six turnovers -- tying his season high -- in 36 minutes of action. Through 10 games, Sabonis' numbers are in the same ballpark as his 2020-21 figures, though his assists production is down (4.2 APG, compared to 6.7 APG last season), and he's off to a rough start from beyond the arc (24.2% 3Pt; 3.3 3PA/G).

Sabonis had 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists on Wednesday, playing 34 minutes in a 111-98 victory over the Knicks. He also had four turnovers.

On a night where six Pacers scored in double figures, Sabonis produced a tamer performance than shareholders have grown accustomed to. Additionally, despite a healthy 34 minutes, Sabonis fouled out in the fourth quarter, which likely had been altering his aggressiveness throughout the contest. He will next take the court Friday against the Trail Blazers.

Sabonis boomed for 24 points (11-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and a steal in the Pacers' 131-118 win over the Spurs on Wednesday.

Sabonis was uber-efficient and led the team in scoring on a night where Indianapolis had 78 at halftime. He has been a top-3 producer at the power forward position and his production is coming at a superstar-level -- ranking seventh in the league in WAR. Sabonis is also among the league-leaders in minutes played, and will next take the court against the Knicks on Wednesday.

Sabonis recorded 22 points (8-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, three steals and two assists across 40 minutes during a 97-94 loss Saturday versus Toronto.

Sabonis recorded more points and rebounds than during his earlier home games versus Milwaukee or Miami. Despite not doing the same concerning steals, he averaged 2.7 across that three-game span. Sabonis also recorded excellent point and rebound averages (20.0 points and 13.0 rebounds per game) additionally indicating how outstanding his future statistical output will be.

Sabonis mustered 16 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block across 35 minutes in Friday's loss against the Nets.

Sabonis bounced back from his nine-point effort Wednesday against Toronto, and while he's failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last four contests, the big man still provides value due to his ability to fill the stat sheet on a nightly basis. Through six appearances, Sabonis is averaging 20.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.7 steals per contest.

Sabonis finished with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block, logging 34 minutes in the Pacers' 118-100 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday. He also had four turnovers.

In a strange performance, Sabonis scored the first six points for the Pacers and then didn't take another shot until the third quarter. Four field-goals attempted marks his all-time career low for shots in game when playing greater than 30 minutes. The Pacers drop to 1-4 and face the Nets Thursday to close this back-to-back.

Sabonis provided 21 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and a steal during Monday's 119-109 loss to the Bucks.

Sabonis was efficient and productive in the loss. Coach Rick Carlisle currently has the Pacers operating at the second-fastest pace in the league, which will cater to Sabonis's skill set. It's not unreasonable that he could approach the top-10 in both points and rebounds for season-long averages.

Sabonis recorded 17 points (8-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and four assists across 43 minutes in Saturday's overtime loss to the Heat.

Sabonis started the season with two straight outings of at least 25 points, and while he couldn't keep that streak going in this one, he did post his second double-double of the year while notching a season-high four steals. Through three games on the season, Sabonis is already averaging 26.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals per tilt.

Sabonis racked up 33 points (13-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes during the Pacers' 123-122 loss to the Hornets on Tuesday.

Sabonis misfired on a potential game-winner as time expired, and also had six turnovers in the outing, but provided a strong performance. Sabonis was efficient from everyone on the court and building on his 32 percent three-point shooting from the previous campaign would only add more value to his fantasy upside.

Sabonis finished Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies with 24 points (10-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and three steals.

The Pacers were without a few regulars, but they gave their starters extended minutes in the second-to-last preseason contest. Sabonis' 32 minutes led the way, and he showed why he's one of the most coveted big men in all of fantasy basketball.

Sabonis accrued 19 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 32 minutes in Saturday's 142-115 loss to the Wizards.

Although Sabonis turned in an excellent performance, it wasn't enough to offset the Wizards' overwhelming offensive output. Without Caris LeVert, the Pacers simply didn't have enough offensive potency in the play-in tournament, and Sabonis couldn't handle the load on his own.

Sabonis recorded 14 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 21 rebounds, nine assists, a steal and a block across 33 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Hornets.

Sabonis (quad) will suit up for Tuesday's play-in game versus the Hornets, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Sabonis seemed likely to make every effort to avoid missing postseason action and it appears he will do just that.

Sabonis is questionable for Tuesday's play-in game against the Hornets with a bruised left quadriceps.

The 25-year-old was questionable for Sunday's season finale with a knee injury and ended up putting up 25 points (12-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 16 rebounds, five assists and three steals in 39 minutes, but he apparently picked up the quadriceps injury. It's difficult to imagine Sabonis not making an attempt to play Tuesday with Indiana's season on the line.

Sabonis tallied 25 points (12-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 16 rebounds, five assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 125-113 win over the Raptors.

Sabonis averaged career highs in points (20.3), assists (6.7), steals and three-pointers (0.8) through 62 games in his fifth NBA season. He'll look to roll over his regular-season success into the play-in tournament Tuesday.

Since coming back from injury on May 1, Sabonis has been on a tear, averaging a triple-double with 22.8 points, 13.9 rebounds, 11.4 assists and 1.6 steals. Expect Goga Bitadze to receive a start and additional minutes if Sabonis is forced to sit out of Saturday's game.

Sabonis (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday's game, Pay Boylan of Indiana Pacers Radio reports.

Sabonis had struggled with his shot prior to leaving with the injury, scoring 10 points on 5-for-19 shooting. Despite that, he had added 14 assists to go along with six rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes. Indiana has two regular season games remaining, and it's unclear if Sabonis will be available for those games.

Sabonis' dominant stretch continued, as he picked up his third triple-double in his last seven games. Over that span, the center has averaged 24.6 points (on an impressive 68.0 percent shooting from the field and 50.0 percent shooting from three), 15.0 rebounds and 11.0 assists per game.

Sabonis delivered another massive performance in all aspects of the box score. Particularly noteworthy were his four blocks, a number he managed for only the second time on the season. He was also very active on the glass, racking up 20 boards or more also for the second time on the campaign. Since a six-game absence caused by a back injury, Sabonis has played at least 37 minutes in five of his last six contests, and he appears in line to finish the season in strong form.

Sabonis recorded 30 points (12-21 FG, 0-3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, 13 assists and three steals across 43 minutes in Saturday's 133-132 OT loss to the Wizards.

As expected, Sabonis had his way with Washington's weak frontcourt, but his stellar play wasn't enough to close the deal, as Russell Westbrook ultimately sealed the deal in a must-win game for both teams. After his six-game absence, Sabonis has owned the frontcourt with Myles Turner (toe) out, averaging 26.3 points, 14.8 rebounds, and 10.0 assists over the past four games. The Pacers are currently on track to make the play-in sequence, but they'll need to keep pace with the Bulls, who are hot on their heels for the final spot.

Sabonis tallied 30 points (12-14 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 win over the Hawks.

The 25-year-old has been on a tear since returning from a six-game absence due to a back issue, averaging 26.3 points, 14.8 rebounds, 10.0 assists and 1.8 steals over his past four games. Sabonis is averaging 40.5 minutes over his past three games, which is a good indicator that he's completely over his injury. The fifth-year center will look to keep it going Saturday at home against the Wizards.

Sabonis mustered 17 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Kings.

Sabonis might have missed six straight games between April 19 and April 29, but that hasn't slowed him down as he has recorded nine straight double-doubles -- he ended just two assists shy of a triple-double in this one. The All-Star forward has been excellent on both ends of the court this season and should undoubtedly remain as Indiana's go-to player throughout the end of the season.

Sabonis compiled 32 points (14-22 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 43 minutes during Monday's 154-141 loss to Washington.

Sabonis dominated again Monday, playing a whopping 43 minutes in the loss. He appears to have moved on from his recent back injury and with the team down on players, he is simply their go-to guy at the moment. GMs who managed to navigate his recent absence have to be loving what he is bringing to the table and to say he could be a potential league winner is certainly an understatement.

Sabonis posted 26 points (10-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 19 rebounds and 14 assists in Saturday's win over the Thunder.

Making his return from a six-game absence due to a back issue, Sabonis showed no signs of rust, putting up his seventh triple-double of the season in dominant fashion. The Pacers outscored Oklahoma City 82 to 46 at halftime, but Sabonis still saw 30 minutes of action, which bodes well for his status ahead of Monday's game at Washington.

Sabonis (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Thunder, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.

After a six-game absence due to back issues, Sabonis will return to the court Saturday. It's unclear whether he'll be on any sort of minutes restriction, but with Goga Bitadze (ankle) ruled out, Oshae Brissett could see an increased role in the Pacers' frontcourt if Sabonis is limited in any fashion.

The Pacers have listed Sabonis (back) as questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Sabonis (back) will not play Thursday against the Nets.

Sabonis (back) will not play Wednesday against the Thunder.

A sore lower back kept Sabonis from playing in Monday's loss to the Spurs, and he'll miss another game as the Pacers move through a four-game Week 18.

Sabonis (back) will not play Monday against the Spurs.

Sabonis returned from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, and he had his work cut out for him with fellow big man Myles Turner (ankle) sidelined.

Sabonis (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Magic.

The 24-year-old was considered a game-time decision after sitting out Monday's practice and will be sidelined for the second straight game with a sprained left ankle.

Sabonis (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Chicago.

Sabonis failed to practice Monday, but it appears as though he still has a chance to take the court Tuesday evening. He missed Saturday's matchup against the Spurs due to a sprained ankle.

Sabonis (ankle) did not take part in Monday's practice, Pacers reporter Scott Agness reports.

A sprained ankle kept Sabonis out of Saturday's game against the Spurs, and there's a good chance he could miss at least one game of the team's upcoming Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set.

The severity of the issue is not known at this time, but Saturday's second game of a back-to-back set against the Hornets is certainly up in the air at this point.

Sabonis has recorded double-digit points with at least nine rebounds in each of his last 10 contests.

Sabonis scored 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 33 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pistons.

Sabonis dropped 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes Thursday in the win over the Heat.

Sabonis has registered either a double-double or triple-double in six straight games and his five offensive boards were the most he's grabbed since recording seven back on Jan. 24. He did see a streak of dishing out six or more assists come to an end at nine but he's still established himself as one of the better passing big men in the league.

Sabonis had 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, four steals and one block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 loss to the Nets.

Sabonis may have delivered his most complete performance of the season Saturday.

Sabonis tested his ankle during pregame warmups and will play Wednesday against Cleveland. He's averaging 21.2 points, 11.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists across 36.4 minutes per game this season, and he should continue to be productive as long as the ankle holds up.

Sabonis (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland, Pacers reporter Scott Agness reports.

Sabonis remains questionable on the Pacers' official injury report, and coach Nate Bjorkgren said the big man plans to test out his left foot during a pregame workout.

Although Sabonis committed six turnovers, it was an otherwise impressive return to action after a seven-day hiatus. He's currently on a four-game double-dounle streak, although his opponents over that span were not in the elite category. His numbers against winning teams have been lower, as he's failed to notch double-doubles against Brooklyn, Utah, and Philadephia in recent weeks. This trend is something to monitor when considering Sabonis in DFS formats.

Sabonis and the Pacers will not play Saturday against the Rockets, as the game has been postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

He has scored 20 or more points in seven of his last nine outings.

Sabonis had 20 points (7-19 FG, 2-4 3PT, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in Sunday's loss to the Jazz.

Sabonis led the way for the Indiana, but it wasn't enough, as the Pacers shot under 40 percent from the field as a team and hit just 8-of-29 attempts from downtown. Nonetheless, it was a nice bounceback for the big man, who had a season-low eight points (3-13 FG) in Friday's loss to New Orleans.

Sabonis totaled 33 points (14-25 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 130-110 loss to the Bucks.

After failing to hit the 30-point plateau in 19 consecutive games, Sabonis has now done so in back-to-back games. Since leaving a game early with a knee contusion back on Jan. 25, Sabonis has been on an absolute tear. In five games, he is averaging 26.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists over 35.6 minutes per game.

Sabonis recorded 32 points (13-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 134-116 win over the Grizzlies.

Sabonis tied his season-high 32 points during the decisive victory, going an extremely efficient 13-of-15 from the field. The performance was also just the second in NBA history with at least 32 points on 85 percent shooting, 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals. The first was Pau Gasol in 2006.

Sabonis scored 21 points (8-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while adding eight rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-110 loss to the 76ers.

Sabonis has now gone three straight games topping the 20-point mark but failed to reach 10 rebounds for just the second time this season. One cause of concern for Sabonis has been his turnovers. He's now turned the ball over 15 in his last three games.

Sabonis totaled 22 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists across 38 minutes in Friday's 108-105 loss to the Hornets.

Sabonis nearly notched his second consecutive 22-point triple-double against the Hornets but instead registered a 22-point double-double while falling four assists shy. Sabonis has been a rebounding machine, grabbing 10 or more in every game with the exception of Monday's game where he left with a bruised knee. The one negative to his game has been turnovers. Sabonis has committed three or more turnovers in 15 of 19 games this season.

Sabonis scored 22 points (9-10 FG, 2-3 3PT, 2-4 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Hornets.

Sabonis was questionable heading into the contest with a knee injury. However, he not only played through the pain, but also turned in his second triple-double of the season. While his scoring efficiency won't stick at the level he displayed Wednesday, Sabonis has proven that his breakout 2019 campaign was no fluke as he's maintained a near identical stat line across the board through 18 games this season.

Sabonis (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Jeremiah Johnson of Fox Sports Indiana reports.

After a clean MRI on Tuesday, Sabonis has ultimately been cleared to get back on the court Wednesday without missing a game. Before suffering the injury, he saw a career-high 38.4 minutes per game. We shouldn't be surprised if his run Wednesday is more conservative since he's coming off an injury.

Sabonis (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

As expected, after a clean MRI on Tuesday, Sabonis is listed as questionable for Wednesday's action. If he's forced to sit out, the Pacers would lose one of their two main hubs of offense -- the other being Malcolm Brogdon. That could funnel the ball into the hands of Jeremy Lamb more often, and JaKarr Sampson and Doug McDermott could see more minutes.

An MRI on Sabonis' knee came back clean Tuesday, and the big man is considered day-to-day, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

This is a major sigh of relief for Sabonis and the Pacers after he exited Monday night's game in the second quarter following a collision with Toronto's Kyle Lowry. An X-ray taken Monday night also came back negative, so it appears Sabonis is simply dealing with a bruised left knee. It's possible he could still miss a game or two in the short term due to swelling and discomfort, but Sabonis figures to be back in the lineup within the next few games -- and perhaps as soon as Wednesday night in Charlotte.

Sabonis (knee) will not return to Monday's game against the Raptors, Jeremiah Johnson of Fox Sports Indiana reports.

Sabonis was originally considered questioanble to return to Monday's game after sustaining a knee injury. It did not take long for the team to ultimately rule him out. The injury is being called a left knee contusion and the severity is not known at this time.

Sabonis is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Raptors due to a left knee contusion, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.

Sabonis hobbled off the court and headed to the locker room during the first half of Monday's clash. JaKarr Sampson figures to be in line for additional minutes if Sabonis is unable to return.

Sabonis provided 10 points (1-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 19 rebounds and five assists across 40 minutes in Sunday's 107-102 loss to the Raptors.

Although Sabonis went a dreadful 1-of-10 from the floor in the loss, he more than made up for it in the paint. His 19 boards marked his second-best rebound total of the season. The dropoff in scoring is uncharacteristic, but it's likely an aberration. Aside from Sunday's game, he's yet to connect on less than five field goals.

Sabonis went for 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and five steals across 45 minutes during Friday's 120-118 overtime win over the Magic.

Sabonis led the Pacers in rebounds, assists and steals during Friday's overtime win while playing in a team-high 45 minutes. Other than a triple-double Sabonis recorded the second game of the season, he has recorded a double-double in every other game.

Sabonis registered 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 124-112 loss to the Mavs.

The double-doubles just keep coming for Sabonis who now has one in all 14 games this season and has 23 double-doubles in his last 24 games dating back to last season. His passing has also been on point, dishing out at least four assists in all but one game this year.

Sabonis had 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and two steals in Sunday's 129-96 loss to the Clippers.

Sabonis only needed 21 minutes in the first half to record his 13th consecutive double-double. He is averaging 21.7 points and 12.8 rebounds across 13 games so far. Sabonis could see his fantasy production go up further if the Pacers need him to compensate for Victor Oladipo's trade out of Indiana.

Sabonis tallied 23 points (10-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Thursday's 111-87 win over the Trail Blazers.

Sabonis' torrid streak of double-doubles continued on Thursday. He''s now recorded a double-double in every game this season, for a total of 12. His season averages of 21.9 points, 12.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists make him one of the most lethal multi-category contributors in the league.

Sabonis' matchup against the Suns on Saturday has been postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The Suns are still working through contact tracing and won't have the eight available players needed. Sabonis will still be playing Thursday against the Trail Blazers.

Sabonis had 18 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5), 14 rebounds, six assists and one block in Tuesday's 104-95 win over the Warriors.

Sabonis has recorded at least 13 points and 10 rebounds in each of his 11 games this season. He is averaging 21.8 PPG and 12.5 RPG, both on pace to be career highs. He is one of two NBA players right now (besides Joel Embiid) with 21-plus points and 12-plus rebounds.

Sabonis recorded 28 points (12-24 FG, 0-4 3PT, 4-8 FT), 22 rebounds and four assists in 41 minutes in the 125-117 loss to Phoenix on Saturday.

Sabonis had himself a night and his best performance of the season thus far in the win Saturday. The forward set a season-high in rebounds and attempts. Sabonis has shown that he can easily dominate the paint and did just that. He is by far one of the most important pieces to Indiana's attack and will continue to be viable moving forward.

Sabonis scored 22 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, four assists and a block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-107 win over the Rockets.

The fifth-year big has racked up a double-double in eight straight games to begin the season. Sabonis is quickly proving last year's performance was no fluke, and his game continues to evolve as despite not even attempting a shot from beyond the arc in this one, he's averaging a career-high 1.1 made threes a game in the early going.

Sabonis had 19 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3PT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in Monday's win over the Pelicans.

It was the seventh straight double-double for Sabonis to begin the season, and his seven assists marked the fourth time he's handed out at least that many. Sabonis has developed into one of the better all-around big men in fantasy basketball, and while he's a shaky free throw shooter, he's significantly upped his three-point volume this season.

Sabonis scored 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), grabbed 13 rebounds, dished four assists and collected two steals in Saturday's loss to New York.

It was a relatively quiet game by the lofty standards Sabonis has set for himself so far this season, but despite registering a season-low 13 points the big man extended his streak to six straight double-doubles to begin the campaign. He also hit another shot from beyond the arc and is now shooting an outstanding 57.1 percent (8-of-14) from deep.

Sabonis tallied 25 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and seven assists in a victory over the Cavaliers on Thursday.

The reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week continued his torrid start to the season in the win, making 10 of 14 attempts from the field, including both of his three-point tries. He rounded out his stat line with 11 boards and seven dimes and finished with his fifth consecutive double-double. Sabonis is averaging an impressive 22.4 points, 11.0 rebounds and 7.2 assists through the first five games of the campaign.

Sabonis scored 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding 11 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and a block in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 116-111 loss to the Celtics.

The fifth-year big has had a blistering start to the season, recording three double-doubles and a triple-double in four games. Sabonis is also doing more distribution than ever before -- after averaging a career-high 5.0 assists a game in 2019-20, he's upped that to 7.3 a game to begin the current campaign. If he continues to be an effective point-forward for the Pacers, it can only boost the fantasy fortunes of the team's other scorers as well as his own.

Sabonis posted 19 points (8-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one block in 41 minutes Sunday in the Pacers' 108-107 win over the Celtics.

Sabonis' production represented a slight step back from his previous two games, wherein he averaged 27.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 8.0 assists. That said, he still filled out the stat sheet nicely against a formidable opponent, and he came up clutch down the stretch with a go-ahead layup with 8.4 seconds remaining that held up as the game-winning shot. Sabonis acknowledged prior to the start of the season that he's still managing plantar fascitiis after the foot injury kept him from playing in August during the 2019-20 season restart, but any signs of poor health haven't been evident early on. The Pacers don't appear concerned either, as Sabonis played a combined 75 minutes in a back-to-back set to close out the weekend.

Sabonis registered 22 points (8-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-11 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Saturday's win over the Bulls.

Sabonis couldn't repeat the scoring output of the season opener, when he scored 32 points, but he filled the stat sheet admirably once again -- he now has one double-double and one triple-double over his first two games this season. Sabonis will try to extend his strong start to the season in the team's next game Sunday against the Celtics.

Sabonis finished with 32 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 13 boards, five assists and one steal in 37 minutes of a 121-107 win against the Knicks on Wednesday.

Sabonis carried over his strong preseason into the start of the regular season, leading all scorers in points while adding a double-double with his rebounding effort. With the Bulls up next, 24-year-old has an opportunity to keep things rolling when he takes the court on Saturday.

Sabonis scored 26 points (10-16 FG, 1-3 3PT, 5-6 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes in Friday's preseason loss to the 76ers.

Sabonis has stuffed the stat sheet throughout the preseason, consistently producing points and boards while shooting efficiently from the field and free-throw line. He'll be a critical part of the Pacers identity and has shown no signs of regression from his breakout performance last season. The next time Sabonis takes the floor, it will be in the regular season opener Wednesday against the Knicks.

Sabonis scored 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go along with nine rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during the Pacers' preseason loss to the Cavaliers on Monday.

Sabonis remained the leader of the Pacers' offensive attack, pacing the team in points and field-goal attempts. Also impressive was his ability to vacuum up rebounds, particularly his four boards on the offensive end of the floor. While Sabonis is certain to maintain a big role during the regular season, Indiana was without Myles Turner (illness) and Goga Bitadze (ankle) for this contest.

Sabonis scored 16 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT) while adding 13 rebounds, two assists and a steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 preseason loss to the Cavaliers.

He tied Malcolm Brogdon for the team lead in scoring while easily pacing the Pacers on the glass. Sabonis battled foot trouble in the Orlando bubble but said he was healthy entering 2020-21, and his performance in the preseason opener backs that up. Look for the fifth-year big to post strong numbers again this year.

Sabonis said Monday that he's fully healthy after battling a foot injury at the conclusion of the 2019-20 season, J. Michael of the Indy Star reports.

Sabonis joined the Pacers in the Orlando bubble, but he was dealing with plantar fasciitis and eventually departed the bubble to seek treatment. The Pacers haven't said much about the injury over the last few months, but it appears Sabonis is back to full health and will be ready when the season tips off later this month. The fifth-year big man is coming off of the best season of his career. In 62 games, he averaged 18.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and shot 54.0 percent from the field while making his first All-Star Game appearance.

Sabonis (foot) hasn't been able to engage in any basketball activities for the past six weeks and there is "no expectation" that he'll re-join the active roster if the Pacers are still alive following his quarantine period, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Even though Sabonis will be joining his teammate shortly, we shouldn't expect him to play any time soon, if at all, even if the Pacers advance. His plantar fasciitis issue sounds like it's severe, so he would have to make significant progress to even practice with the team, let alone compete in games. More information on Sabonis' recovery may become available once team doctors are able to continue assessing him.

Sabonis (foot) is scheduled to land in the NBA's bubble today and will immediately enter quarantine, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.

A potential Sabonis return would be dependent on the Pacers extending its series with the Heat long enough. Also, considering he would have to get his conditioning up to par, he would not likely see normal minutes until a potential Round 2. If Indiana does hang around long enough for the big man to clear quarantine, his return would most likely have the biggest impact on T.J. Warren's usage.

Sabonis (foot) remains out indefinitely, but the Pacers have not ruled out a return at some point in the postseason, Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports.

The team hasn't said much about Sabonis' recovery, but it doesn't sound as though he's overly close to getting back on the floor. "We have no date right now confirmed," coach Nate McMillan told the media on Wednesday. The Pacers have fought their way to a 4-2 record in the bubble without Sabonis, but the All-Star's absence will be felt when the competition picks up in the playoffs. Prior to the shutdown in March, Sabonis averaged 19.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists over his last 10 games.

Pacers head coach Nate McMillan said Sunday that Sabonis (foot) is "a ways away" from returning to game action, Scott Agness of VigilantSports.com reports.

Sabonis still hasn't returned to the NBA bubble in Orlando after leaving more than a week ago to seek treatment for the plantar fasciitis he has been experiencing in his left foot, and the team has yet to offer a formal update on his condition. At this stage, Sabonis looks to be more week-to-week than day-to-day in his recovery from the injury, and it's entirely possible he won't be ready to make his debut in Orlando until the postseason, if at all.

Sabonis (foot) will not play Saturday against the 76ers.

Sabonis left the bubble to seek treatment for plantar fasciitis, and he is yet to return. It's unclear when or if he'll rejoin the team in the bubble. In his stead, Myles Turner should see extra offensive responsibilities, while more minutes could go to the likes of Doug McDermott and JaKarr Sampson.

Sabonis (foot) is leaving the Orlando bubble to seek treatment from a specialist regarding his plantar fasciitis, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Word first emerged Monday that Sabonis was dealing with a foot injury when coach Nate McMillan noted that the big man hadn't been able to put any weight on his foot over the prior two-to-three days. He hasn't been able to do anything since then, and it become apparent recently that the injury could put his status for the restart in jeopardy. It's unclear how long Sabonis will be outside of the bubble, but at this point, it seems unlikely he'll be back and ready in time for the Pacers' first seeding game Aug. 1 against the 76ers.

Sabonis (foot) will not scrimmage Thursday against the Trail Blazers, Scott Agness of The Athletic reports.

Considering it's been a week since Sabonis has touched a basketball, this news is expected. At this point, it seems like his plantar fasciitis may cut into his availability for the Pacers' seeding games, which begin Aug. 1 against the 76ers.

Sabonis (foot), who hasn't touched a basketball in six days, is considered day-to-day,J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.

The information coming out of Pacers camp regarding Sabonis' plantar fasciitis isn't encouraging. It's been almost a week since he's been able to do anything with a ball, and Indiana's first seeding game is Aug. 1 against the 76ers. While Sabonis still has some time to recover, he should certainly be considered questionable for that contest until there's more information.

Pacers head coach Nate McMillan said Monday that Sabonis hasn't been able to put any weight on his foot for the past 2-to-3 days after experiencing plantar fasciitis, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Per Joe Vardon of The Athletic, McMillan confirmed that Sabonis would at least miss the Pacers' first exhibition in Orlando on Thursday versus the Trail Blazers. The fact that Sabonis isn't able to put weight on the foot is particularly worrisome, and it's possible that the big man's effectiveness could be diminished even if he's able to play through the issue when the Pacers resume their regular season Aug. 1 versus the 76ers. Myles Turner would likely benefit from more rebounding and shot opportunities if Sabonis is sidelined during the season restart, but Turner missed practice Monday while dealing with general soreness and is also set to sit out Thursday's exhibition, per Tony East of West Indianapolis Community News.

Sabonis went off for 28 points (13-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 114-111 loss to the Celtics.

Sabonis helped lead an impressive comeback attempt that fell just short, and he came awfully close to logging another triple-double. He already has more double-doubles (50) and triple-doubles (four) in this season alone than he did through his first three campaigns combined (47 double-doubles, zero triple-doubles).

Sabonis tallied 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, six assists and a steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's win over the Mavericks.

Sabonis, who's 17 boards were marked his best night on the glass since Dec. 23, led the Pacers in both points and rebounds during Sunday's close win. Moreover, he notched his 50th double-double of the season, continuing his excellent season. Through 61 games, the fourth-year center's averaging 18.3 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 34.7 minutes per game, all of which are career-bests.

Sabonis accumulated 24 points (10-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and a steal in 36 minutes Friday, as the Pacers beat the Bulls 108-102

Recording his 49th double-double of the season, Sabonis anchored the Pacers on a night where Malcolm Brogdon (hip), Doug McDermott (toe) and T.J. Warren (leg) all missing. Sabonis had been 10-of-27 in his prior two contests, but was quite effective Friday. He did, however, cough up seven turnovers, though that can likely be attributed to the absence of several key ball handlers.

Sabonis posted 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Bucks.

Fantasy owners in points leagues got a passable performance out of Sabonis, who stuffed the stat sheet. However, fantasy owners in leagues with emphases on efficiency and turnovers got a much worse performance out of Sabonis. While he got seven assists, he committed six turnovers and, while he got 15 points, it took him 16 shots. Still, Sabonis has played well overall lately. He's double-doubled in seven straight games, averaging 18.0 points on 13.7 shots, plus 12.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists across this stretch.

Sabonis posted 14 points (4-10 FG, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Monday's 116-111 win at San Antonio.

The Lithuanian big man has been a stat-stuffing machine since the beginning of 2020. Since the calendar flipped to the new year, Sabonis is averaging 19.2 points,11.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game in 26 outings, while racking up 16 double-doubles and four triple-doubles during that stretch.

Sabonis registered 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and one block in 42 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 win at Cleveland.

Sabonis was just one assist away from a triple-double for the second time in his last three outings, but the Lithuanian big man arguably had the best month of his career in February. The first-time All-Star ended February with averages of 19.7 points, 11.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists while shooting 56.4 percent from the field in 12 games.

Sabonis accumulated 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds and nine assists across 31 minutes during Tuesday night's 119-80 win over Charlotte.

Sabonis scored a team-high 14 as the Pacers got pummeled by the Raptors on Sunday, and Sabonis scored a team-high 21 points as the Pacers pummeled the Hornets on Tuesday. This could've been the first instance in NBA history of a team losing by 40 and winning their next game by 40. Logging a massive plus-39, Sabonis was one assist shy of his fifth triple-double of the season. He has league-winner status.

Sabonis notched 24 points (8-16 FG, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 37 minutes during Friday's 106-98 win at the Knicks.

Sabonis was averaging a double-double -- 17.6 points with 10.8 rebounds -- in his last five games before the All-Star break, and he seems to have picked it up right where he left off. The Lithuanian big man is having a strong February with 20.4 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, including three double-doubles and two triple-doubles during that eight-game span.

Sabonis had two points (0-1 FG, 2-4 FT) and six rebounds in 19 minutes during Sunday's 157-155 victory over Team Giannis.

Sabonis played 19 minutes off the bench in his All-Star debut, struggling to have an impact. This was certainly a career highlight for Sabonis who seemed a long way from being an All-Star only two short years ago. He was basically a throw-in as part of the Paul George/Victor Oladipo trade but has turned himself into arguably the Pacers' most consistent player. He has been a top-50 player thus far and has even managed to secure multiple triple-doubles. Moving forward, he should continue to put up strong numbers as the Pacers battle for a top-four playoff spot in the East.

Sabonis racked up 23 points (11-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 106-105 loss to the Nets.

Sabonis recorded his fourth triple-double and 41st double-double through 51 appearances this season. All four of his career triple-doubles have taken place in the last 12 games. Moreover, after posting 47 double-doubles through his first three seasons, Sabonis seems set to surpass that total in this season alone before long.

Sabonis scored 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT) while adding 11 rebounds and 10 assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Raptors.

The fourth-year big has three triple-doubles on the year, and all three have come in the last nine games. Sabonis is averaging 20.0 points, 11.3 boards and 6.8 assists over that impressive stretch while shooting 57.5 percent from the floor, and while he was already having a breakout campaign, it appears as though Sabonis' distribution skills could take his fantasy value to an entirely new level in the second half.

Sabonis exploded for 26 points (11-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 112-103 loss against the Mavericks.

Sabonis came just one assist short of notching his second triple-double in an eight-day span, but he has been incredibly productive of late while settling as the Pacers' go-to guy on offense. The Lithuanian big man has four double-doubles and one triple-double over his last six outings, a span where he has averaged 22.2 points, 11.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game while shooting 58.8 percent from the field. He should continue to have a large role on offense moving forward at least until Victor Oladipo can return to the starting lineup.

Sabonis scored 25 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT), while tacking on eight rebounds and two assists in the Pacers' 92-85 loss to the Knicks.

Sabonis was the only Pacer to register more than 12 points, watching the rest of his team shoot 36 percent (22-of-61) from the field. It should be noted that T.J. Warren left early with a head injury and Victor Oladipo (quad) is still working to regain his stride, so the Pacers' offense was far from fully operational Saturday. Nonetheless, Sabonis is an all-star for a reason and currently represents Indiana's premier fantasy asset.

Sabonis scored 15 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT) while adding 11 rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 overtime win over the Bulls.

The double-double was his 37th of the season, putting him third in the league in that category behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Andre Drummond. Sabonis is averaging 19.2 points, 11.6 boards and 6.1 assists through 13 games in January as his breakout campaign continues.

Sabonis registered 27 points (11-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists and one block across 41 minutes Sunday in the Pacers' 139-129 loss to the Trail Blazers.

With frontcourt mate Myles Turner (illness) sitting out and Victor Oladipo (knee) and Malcolm Brogdon (concussion) also sidelined, Sabonis benefited from an even more elevated profile than usual in the Pacers' offense and was able to deliver another crooked stat line in big minutes. The triple-double was the second of Sabonis' career and came exactly one week after he first achieved the feat in Denver.
