Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) underwent season-ending surgery Wednesday to repair a torn left meniscus. The 29-year-old was limited to 19 appearances this season, averaging 15.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in 29.7 minutes before being shut down as the 12-44 Kings shift focus to development. With backup center Dylan Cardwell (ankle) also sidelined, rookie Maxime Raynaud is positioned to handle 30-plus minutes nightly. Raynaud is averaging 9.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in 23.5 minutes across 48 games and now profiles as a must-add in standard leagues. Precious Achiuwa should see a steadier run off the bench, while Keegan Murray and DeMar DeRozan gain modest usage bumps. Sabonis can be dropped in redraft formats.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. The second-generation NBA player has been listed as out for left knee injury management. He has also recently dealt with a back problem. Sabonis' absence means Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell will continue to share minutes at center. Both rookies have played well recently, though Raynaud holds a slight edge on Cardwell from a fantasy perspective, as he has been Sabonis' direct replacement in the starting lineup. The French big man was one rebound short of a 20-20 game on Monday versus New Orleans.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) will not play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, marking his third consecutive missed contest due to a back injury. With Sabonis sidelined, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell are expected to take on expanded roles. Raynaud should continue to serve as Sabonis' replacement in the starting lineup, while Cardwell is coming off a strong showing, posting a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double against Cleveland on Saturday. Given New Orleans' bottom-six ranking in fantasy points allowed to centers, both rookie big men are in a favorable spot to deliver streaming value Monday night.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) is carrying a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The former All-Star has battled a back issue lately, missing four of the last five games. In Sabonis' absence, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell have had a chance to log extended minutes. While Raynaud has been Sabonis' replacement in the starting lineup, Cardwell performed slightly better on Saturday against Cleveland, recording a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double. With New Orleans ranking among the bottom six teams in fantasy points allowed to centers, the rookie big men could have another productive performance on Monday night if Sabonis doesn't play.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (back) won't play on Saturday against Cleveland. He missed a few months because of a knee injury. However, the veteran will sit out his second-straight contest due to back soreness. With the Kings not looking at a postseason berth, it's unknown how much action Sabonis will see for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. As far as Saturday's game is concerned, Maxime Raynaud, averaging 11.3 points and 8.0 boards in 27 starts this season, remains in line to replace him in the rotation. Dylan Cardwell, coming off a 14-point, 14-rebound, two-block showing, should also continue to be more involved than usual.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. On Wednesday, Sabonis returned from a back problem against the Memphis Grizzlies, but he will be out again on Friday night. This will mark his third absence in four games. Maxime Raynaud is set to return to the first unit against the Clippers, while fellow rookie Dylan Cardwell should also see healthy minutes at the No. 5 spot. As a starter, Raynaud has provided 11.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Lithuanian star returned from a back problem in Wednesday's loss to Memphis, but the team hasn't removed him from the injury report. Sabonis had 24 points and 15 rebounds in 24 minutes against the Grizzlies. If he can't play on Friday night, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell will see additional action against a Clippers frontcourt that no longer has Ivica Zubac, making it an easier matchup for Sacramento's bigs.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Lithuanian star has missed a couple of games due to lower back soreness. He appears to be nearing a return after participating in Tuesday's practice. Whether Sabonis plays against Memphis may not depend solely on his health, as the three-time All-Star has been linked with a move away from the team, and Sacramento might decide to protect its asset. Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell have been sharing center duties during Sabonis' absence.

Trade talks regarding Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis have continued this week with a connection to the Toronto Raptors still developing. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the framework of a trade for Sabonis would revolve around Raptors guards RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji. The potential for a third team to join in on the trade may still be needed in order to help with the financial side of things. Sabonis is Sacramento's best remaining trade chip, though he's had a bit of a down season due to injury. The 29-year-old has consistently been linked to the Raptors this season and would be a great help to keep Toronto near the top of the Eastern Conference.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. He was added late to the injury report with lower back soreness, and the team has downgraded his status from questionable to out. For knee injury management, Sabonis also missed Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. As a result, Maxime Raynaud moved to the first unit, posting a 14-point, 14-rebound double-double. It could be a big night again for the French rookie on Sunday, as centers have dominated against Washington all season.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back on Friday against the Boston Celtics. He is managing a left knee injury, and the team doesn't want to overwork Sabonis, who logged 28 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Maxime Raynaud is likely to replace Sabonis in the first unit on Friday, while Dylan Cardwell could also have a larger role. That said, the two rookies likely won't have it easy against a team that gives up the fifth-fewest fantasy points to centers.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (rest) won't play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Tonight's contest is the second half of a back-to-back, so the 29-year-old big man will sit out for injury maintenance. Sabonis finished with six points, 10 rebounds, and three assists in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 loss to the Heat. With Sabonis out and Precious Achiuwa (ankle) considered questionable, Maxime Raynaud could be in line for extra minutes. The 22-year-old rookie has become a marginal fantasy asset as he's posted averages of 9.9 points and 6.8 rebounds in his last eight outings.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) has been officially listed as available for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Reports of Sabonis' return began circulating earlier this week, and the team listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. Sabonis hasn't played since Nov. 16, so he could have a limited workload against Washington. Even so, the Lithuanian star could be in for a big night, as Washington has given up more fantasy points to centers than any other team this season. Sabonis' return will be a blow to Maxime Raynaud's fantasy value.

According to Sean Cunningham of NBC Sacramento, Kings forward Domantas Sabonis (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Cunningham added there's also "optimism" that he could return "as early" as Friday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The 29-year-old hasn't had his best season in 2025, although he still produces at a high level, averaging 17.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals. Unfortunately, a partially torn meniscus in his left knee caused him to miss the last 27 contests. At any rate, it appears Sabonis is close to getting back on the court, giving fantasy managers something to look forward to. He'll likely be limited for at least a few games. However, Sabonis should still be added back to all fantasy lineups once he's officially cleared to suit up.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will be re-evaluated in 4-5 weeks, James Ham of ESPN reports. The Lithuanian star has already missed five weeks due to a partially torn meniscus in his left knee. Sacramento is currently also without Drew Eubanks (thumb), which has given a massive boost to Maxime Raynaud's fantasy value. The French rookie had a career night on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers, putting up 29 points and securing his second double-double of the season with 11 rebounds. Raynaud will try to replicate the effort on Saturday night in a rematch against Portland.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will miss at least the next three to four weeks, according to the latest from ESPN's Shams Charania. Sabonis was already ruled out for the second game of the team's back-to-back on Thursday, but now there's a clearer timeline of just how long he'll miss. While he's out, Drew Eubanks, Precious Achiuwa, and Maxime Raynaud will fill in at center. Eubanks started in his place on Wednesday and will likely see the biggest boost, although the team could take the opportunity to take a look at second-round pick Raynaud as well. The Kings are only 3-12 through their first 15 games, and without Sabonis, they could sink even lower over the next few weeks. In better news, they'll have forward Keegan Murray (thumb) available for his season debut on Thursday against the Grizzlies, and maybe he'll be able to help pick up some of the slack during Sabonis's absence as well.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will miss his second straight game on Thursday night when his team visits the Grizzlies in Memphis. He also sat out on Wednesday, in what was thought to be just a rest day to have him ready for Thursday's contest. Instead, he'll miss both games of the back-to-back, but the team hasn't given any update as to a timeline for his return. He could be back as soon as Saturday against the Nuggets, but there definitely seems to be more going on than initially expected. Sabonis has been very productive when available, but he has been limited to 11 games this season. Without him on Thursday, Drew Eubanks and Precious Achiuwa will get more minutes in the middle in Memphis.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will sit out the first leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. After playing through a ribcage contusion lately, Sabonis has been listed on the injury report with left knee soreness. Drew Eubanks looks set to fill in for Sabonis in the first unit and will have some fantasy appeal. Meanwhile, Precious Achiuwa also figures to be more involved in the rotation without Sabonis. However, it's going to be a tricky contest for Sacramento's backup bigs, as the Thunder give up the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing centers.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is considered questionable for Sunday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. He has played in four consecutive contests despite being listed as questionable each time, so it appears likely that Sabonis will remain in the lineup on Sunday. However, if he suffers a setback, the Kings will likely hand the starting center job to Drew Eubanks, who recently filled in for Sabonis in the first unit a couple of times. Eubanks averaged 14.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in those contests.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) will play on Friday versus Minnesota. His presence on the injury report is nothing new. Fortunately, it won't keep him off the floor for the NBA Cup meeting with the Timberwolves. The 29-year-old hasn't had the best 2025 campaign, averaging 15.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. However, Sabonis is still a double-double threat whenever he's on the floor, and he could turn things around once he starts feeling better. With Sabonis available, it will likely mean even less work for Drew Eubanks.
