Won't play Sunday
Sabonis (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
Sabonis will miss a second straight game after being a late addition to the injury report due to a nagging back injury. Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell are candidates for increasing roles with Sabonis sidelined.

Late addition to injury report
Sabonis (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
Sabonis was an extremely late addition to the injury report due to lower-back soreness, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. If the veteran center isn't cleared to play, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell would be candidates for increased playing time.

Available Sunday vs. Washington
Sabonis (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
Sabonis was held out of Friday's loss to the Celtics while continuing to manage a left knee injury, but the veteran center will be available for Sunday's road tilt. Since returning Jan. 16 from a 27-game absence due to a partial meniscus tear, Sabonis has averaged 12.6 points, 9.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists over 25.0 minutes per game.

Sitting out Friday
Sabonis won't play Friday against Boston due to left knee injury management.
Analysis
Friday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so Sabonis will sit out for maintenance reasons. In Sabonis' absence, the Kings will likely lean more on Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell at center.

Teases triple-double in loss
Sabonis closed with 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 103-87 loss to the Knicks.
Analysis
The veteran center came a few dimes shy of his first triple-double of the season. Sabonis finally appears to be close to regaining his usual form after missing nearly two months due to a knee injury he sustained in mid-November, and over the last three games (two starts), he's averaging 15.7 points, 11.7 boards, 7.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.7 minutes a contest while shooting 64.5 percent from the floor.
