Domantas Sabonis's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (back) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Sabonis was able to get through a full practice session on Thursday for the second day in a row. He has missed each of the last two games due to lower back tightness, but he's trending in the right direction now. The Kings are likely going to wait until closer to tip-off before making a final decision on Sabonis. If active, Trey Lyles should see a reduced role in the rotation after playing over 30 minutes in each of the last three games.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (back) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Sabonis had been listed as doubtful so him missing Monday's game is not a surprise. He also missed Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz with lower back tightness. The team announced today that the 28-year-old has made "significant improvement" on his back injury and was cleared for on-court workouts, a positive sign for the Kings. In his absence, expect Trey Lyles and Doug McDermott to get more opportunities for the injury-riddled Kings. Neither has been a viable fantasy option this season. However, DFS managers may want to consider both as longshots against the Atlanta Hawks. Both can shoot the ball well from three and Atlanta gives up the most three-point attempts per game.

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. However, he's in line to miss his second-consecutive contest because of back tightness. With DeMar DeRozan (back) already ruled out, the Kings may need to rely on De'Aaron Fox, who had 49 points in Saturday's win over Utah, for most of the team's production. But as far as Sabonis' spot in the rotation is concerned, Trey Lyles would presumably remain in the starting lineup, with the 2015 No. 12 overall pick dropping 17 points on the Jazz.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) won't play in Saturday's matchup versus the Utah Jazz. The veteran had 23 points, 12 boards, and three blocks in Friday's overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, he's dealing with back tightness, although it's unknown how severe the issue is. With DeMar DeRozan (back) and Malik Monk (ankle) also out, De'Aaron Fox is the favorite to lead the way offensively. Trey Lyles could work his way into the starting lineup and surpass fantasy expectations, so he's worth rostering, even if it's only for one game.

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.
