Not starting Friday
Sabonis is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Wizards, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Analyse
Sabonis will play Friday, but presumably to limit his minutes, he'll be working in a reserve role. Considering he's been out since mid-November, it wouldn't be shocking to see Sabonis operating with a minutes cap for at least the next few games.

Available to play
Sabonis (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Wizards.
Analyse
Sabonis will likely have some sort of minutes restriction in his first game back, but his return is bad news for the fantasy outlook of Maxime Raynaud. Precious Achiuwa also figures to take a hit with Sabonis back in the mix. Even with a minutes limit, Sabonis is a must-start player whenever he's active.

Expected to play Friday
Sabonis (knee) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Wizards, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. The Kings are still listing Sabonis (knee) as questionable on the official injury report.
Analyse
The stage is set for the star big man to finish a 27-game absence with a partial meniscus tear. The expectation is that Sabonis will start right away, which would force rookie first-rounder Maxime Raynaud back to the bench. Sabonis has averaged 17.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.2 minutes per tilt through 11 games this season.

Draws questionable tag for Friday
The Kings list Sabonis (knee) as questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.
Analyse
After turning in a full practice Thursday, Sabonis looks as though he'll have a chance at making his return to the lineup a day later following a 27-game absence due to a partial meniscus tear in his left knee. The veteran big man has already battled multiple injuries during the first half of the season, as he previously missed the Kings' 2025-26 opening game while recovering from a preseason hamstring injury, then missed two games in November due to a left ribcage contusion. The Kings will presumably see how Sabonis checks out during their morning shootaround before deciding on his status ahead of Friday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff. Even if Sabonis gets the green light to play, he could have his minutes monitored closely in what would be his first game in two months.

Could return Friday
Sabonis (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, and he could be cleared to play Friday against the Wizards, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Analyse
Regardless of whether Sabonis ultimately gets the green light to return Friday, the fact that the big man is close to healthy is a huge positive for Sacramento. He's missed the team's last 27 games while recovering from a partial meniscus tear in his left knee and was off to a solid start to the 2025-26 season before going down. He can be considered questionable for Friday until the team provides another update. Maxime Raynaud will likely flip back to a bench role once Sabonis is 100 percent and rid of any type of minutes restriction.
