Key Points:

  • Sacramento Kings All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis is expected to return on Friday after missing 27 games due to a partially torn meniscus in his left knee, following a two-month rehab without surgery.
  • Sabonis is officially listed as questionable but is anticipated to play against the Washington Wizards, marking a significant step in his recovery process.
  • The Kings have struggled this season with an 11-30 record but are currently on a three-game winning streak during a seven-game homestand.
  • Sabonis, in his fifth season with the Kings, remains a key player as the February 5 trade deadline approaches, with the team open to trade discussions given his sizable contract and the ongoing rebuild.
