Sabonis has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against Miami due to left knee soreness.
Sabonis was a late addition to the injury report and could miss his first game of the season. If the veteran center joins Maxime Raynaud (knee) on the inactive list, Dylan Cardwell and Precious Achiuwa would be candidates for increased playing time.
Sabonis registered 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 124-109 loss to the Spurs.
Sabonis posted another efficient double-double, making eight of 12 shots and adding five assists, which ties him with Victor Wembanyama for third in the league in double-doubles. Four turnovers hurt, and Sacramento never seriously threatened after falling behind by 19 at the half. He's still one of the league's most reliable big men, but the Kings' 1-8 start caps his potential.
Sabonis logged 16 points (5-10 FG, 6-9 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-103 loss to the Lakers.
Sabonis dominated the glass, pulling down six offensive rebounds among his 17 boards, after grabbing 14 against Memphis on Saturday. His playmaking was quiet, with just one assist, as Darius Acuff handled most of the facilitating duties. Regardless, Sabonis' rebounding alone keeps him among the elite fantasy centers.
Sabonis racked up 11 points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 136-105 loss to the Grizzlies.
The Kings' shot distribution was dominated by rookie seventh-overall pick Darius Acuff (25 field-goal attempts) and De'Andre Hunter (18), but Sabonis still contributed offensively with a team-high eight assists. It was Sabonis' fourth double-double of the season, and he was two dimes shy from his second triple-double of the 2026-27 campaign. His 15.8 rebounds per game leads the NBA, and he is also averaging 16.0 points, 7.3 assists and 1.0 steals over what is currently a career-high 37.0 minutes per game.
Sabonis finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block across 40 minutes in Thursday's 132-120 loss to the Pelicans.
Sabonis has been absolutely dominant on the glass in the early stages of the season, grabbing at least 14 boards in each game and comfortably leading the NBA in that category at 16.2 per game. The other areas of his game weren't as dominant, however, as he attempted just seven shots while committing seven turnovers. Sabonis' rebounding and playmaking helped offset the single-digit scoring total, though the turnovers were costly for Sacramento. The star big man remains a strong fantasy contributor through his elite rebounding and passing, but his scoring volume can become a concern after back-to-back games with nine points.
