Domantas Sabonis Nearly Misses Triple-Double Against Spurs
1 year agoSacramento 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.

Domantas Sabonis Questionable To Return From Absence On Monday
1 week agoSacramento Kings center/forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is in the midst of a three-game absence which could span to four games on Monday after being listed as questionable for the matchup with the Boston Celtics. The star big man has only appeared in three games in the month of March after missing just three games during the rest of the season. Jonas Valanciunas should remain in the starting five if Sabonis can't play. Over the last three games as a starter, Valanciunas averaged 12.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. If Sabonis does take the court, however, he becomes a must-start again while Valanciunas only holds value in very deep category leagues.

Domantas Sabonis To Miss At Least 10 Days
2 weeks agoSacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ankle) has been ruled out for at least 10 days. He sprained his right ankle during Monday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The team has announced that an MRI on the ankle showed a moderate sprain and that Sabonis will be re-evaluated in 10 days. This is an unfortunate setback for the Lithuanian big man, who had only just returned to the lineup from a hamstring injury. Jonas Valanciunas now looks set for another spell as Sacramento's starting center. He averaged 12.0 points and 12.2 rebounds during Sabonis' previous absence.

Domantas Sabonis Back In Action On Friday
2 weeks agoSacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) will return to the lineup on Friday against the Phoenix Suns. He has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of the action and is ready to rejoin the fun after sitting out the past six games. Jonas Valanciunas filled in admirably for Sabonis during his time out, but he will shift back to a bench role on Friday. Sabonis makes his comeback in a good spot, as the Suns have been battered by centers all year. They allow the fourth-most points to the position and the fifth-most rebounds.

Domantas Sabonis Out Again On Thursday
3 weeks agoAccording to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) won't return to the floor for Thursday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Sabonis will be sidelined for the sixth straight game due to a left-hamstring strain. Despite carrying the unavailable tag for Thursday's contest, the big man went through a full practice on Wednesday, meaning he will return soon. Fantasy managers should be satisfied with the news of Sabonis potentially coming back earlier than initially thought since he was ruled out indefinitely just a week ago with a Grade 1 hamstring strain.
