Fri Mar 810:58Domantas Sabonis Nearly Misses Triple-Double Against Spurs
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis was one assist shy of his 23rd triple-double this season but was still able to lead the team to a two-point win over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. Sabonis has been one of the most impressive players in the league this year but has constantly been overlooked just like he was for the NBA All-Star game. In this game, he finished with 31 points, 17 rebounds, nine assists, one steal, one block, and four turnovers while cashing in on 14 of his 19 field goal attempts. He now has 58 double-doubles and 23 games of 15 or more rebounds this season. He'll be a sleeper fantasy league winner this season after coming in as a second-round pick according to his ADP.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (illness) is doubtful heading into Thursday's meeting with the Spurs. He didn't practice on Wednesday, so most had assumed things were moving in this direction. However, now that he's officially doubtful, fantasy managers should start making alternative arrangements. Nonetheless, De'Aaron Fox should take on more of the scoring load without Sabonis in the mix. But guys like Malik Monk, Keegan Murray, and Harrison Barnes should also benefit offensively.

Wed Feb 2115:54Domantas Sabonis Does Not Practice Wednesday
Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis (illness) did not practice Wednesday, and his status is in doubt for the team's game on Thursday against the Spurs. The 27-year-old's absence is concerning for his availability on Thursday, and it will be a situation worth monitoring up until game time. If Sabonis can't play, Trey Lyles, JaVale McGee, and Alex Len could potentially see increased minutes. Sabonis is averaging 20.1 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in 35 minutes per game this season, and his absence would be a huge loss for the Kings.

It's not going to be easy. ... We gotta be mentally strong to come out, block out all the noise and just be us. Getting better on defense, adding things on our offensive end so teams can't scout us. It's gonna be a lot of fun for us."

Sat Jun 24 202313:28Domantas Sabonis May Be Nearing An Extension
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis may soon receive a contract extension offer.

Sabonis, who averaged 19.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 7.3 assists last season, remains in the team's long-term plans. His defensive skills have been questioned, and he also battled a thumb injury in 2022-23.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis led the troops with 22 points on a really good 10-for-16 shooting Sunday against Golden State, but his efforts weren't enough, with the defending champions taking down the Kings on the road in Game 7. Sabonis had a very strong start to the game, but he completely disappeared in the second half when the Warriors took control. The Lithuanian star had only six points after the break, and all of them came in the fourth quarter during a one-minute stretch when the visitors had already built up a big lead. Sabonis completed his line with eight rebounds, seven assists and two blocks. It was a disappointing finish to Sacramento's season, but the future looks promising with Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox leading the charge.

Sat Apr 29 202308:26Domantas Sabonis Struggles In Game 6 Against Golden State
Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis had a rough one Friday against the Warriors, battling foul trouble and finishing a 118-99 victory with only seven points. He did well in other areas, collecting 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal, but Sabonis' 3-for-12 shooting limited his offensive impact, and he was careless with the ball as well, recording five turnovers in 23 minutes. Despite Sabonis' struggles, the Kings still walked all over Golden State in Game 6. They will now look to secure a second-round ticket on home court Sunday, with Sabonis definitely amped up to do better than he did on Friday.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis overcame his Game 1 struggles with a solid performance in Monday's Game 2 against the Warriors, notching 24 points on 8-for-12 shooting and adding nine rebounds and four assists in a 114-106 victory.

Sabonis had to get X-rays on his ribs and lungs after the game following a Draymond Green stop on his chest, but they returned back negative, so it appears that he luckily avoided injury in the incident. Things are getting spicy in the series, with the Warriors down 2-0 in the playoffs for the first time since 2007, and Sabonis and the Kings now have to prove that they can also do the business on the road.

Thu Apr 6 202322:12Domantas Sabonis Could Sit On Friday
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Kings have a majority of their regular starters listed as questionable for this game. Although, fantasy managers shouldn't worry about their health. The Kings might know their seed for the playoffs before tip-off, so they'd likely rest most of their starters if that happens. That being said, Alex Len would probably see significant playing time if the Kings decide to rest their starters. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for more information.
