Domantas Sabonis Gets Through Full Practice

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (back) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5 (2024-2025): November 18 - November 24

DeMar DeRozan Won't Play Against The Hawks

Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan (back) remains out for Monday's meeting with the Hawks. The 35-year-old is dealing with a back injury, so he'll miss his third-straight contest on Monday night. Under normal circumstances, the Kings would rely mostly on Domantas Sabonis (back) and De'Aaron Fox to pick up the slack. However, with Sabonis doubtful, […]

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) is expected to miss Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 28-year-old played all 82 regular-season games in 2023-24.
