Grabs 14 boards in double-double
Sabonis contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Sunday's 127-120 loss to the Lakers.
Analysis
After missing the Kings' opener due to a hamstring strain, Sabonis has recorded back-to-back double-doubles since getting back into the lineup. The 29-year-old center hasn't seen his usual distribution role so far however, recording just four assists in two games, and his days of being a consistent triple-double threat might be over so long as Dennis Schroder is handling point guard duties.

Hits game winner in debut
Sabonis (hamstring) ended with 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Jazz.
Analysis
Sabonis sat out Wednesday's 120-116 season-opening loss to the Suns while continuing to recover from a hamstring strain suffered late in the preseason, but the veteran big man was cleared to play Friday and didn't operate with any restrictions. Though he took on an uncharacteristically low 14.6 percent usage rate in his debut, Sabonis made his impact felt late in the game. He corralled an errant Malik Monk shot late in the fourth quarter, then put it back in with 6.4 seconds remaining to give the Kings a one-point lead.

Won't be limited Friday
Head coach Doug Christie said Sabonis (hamstring) won't operate under a minutes restriction in Friday's game against Utah, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Analysis
Sabonis missed the Kings' season-opening loss to Phoenix due to a hamstring injury, though he'll make his season debut without a minutes restriction against the Jazz. The star big man averaged 19.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists across 34.7 minutes per contest in 70 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign.

Upgraded to available
Sabonis (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Analysis
After participating in the morning shootaround, Sabonis has been upgraded to available for his season debut Friday. There's no word about a potential minutes restriction, but it's possible the star big man could have his workload monitored after nearly a week on the shelf with a hamstring strain. Last regular season, Sabonis averaged 19.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists per contest in 70 games.

Active at shootaround
Sabonis (hamstring) participated in Friday's morning shootaround, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Analysis
The star big man's presence at shootaround bodes well for his chances of being available for Friday's game against the Jazz. Additionally, Sabonis is tracking toward suiting up, barring any setbacks during pregame warmups. If he's ultimately unable to play, Drew Eubanks would likely get the spot start down low.

Iffy for Friday
Sabonis (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis
After missing the season opener due to a hamstring injury, Sabonis appears to be trending in the right direction to make his return to the floor. Hamstring injuries can be tricky, so this is a good sign from a fantasy perspective that the veteran big man won't be out for long.
