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.

Sniffs triple-double Sunday
Sabonis finished with 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 139-116 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Making his first start in five games since returning from a knee injury Jan. 16, Sabonis wound up taking an early seat in the rout but still came close to producing his first triple-double of the season. The 29-year-old center is still trying to get back to his usual form, and since rejoining the lineup he's averaging 12.6 points, 9.4 boards, 4.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 22.8 minutes.

Dominant double-double off bench
Sabonis logged 24 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 123-118 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis
Sabonis was brought off the bench for Friday's contest while continuing to manage a left knee injury that caused him to miss 27 straight games. The veteran big man ended up leading the Kings in both points and rebounds while finishing second in assist behind Malik Monk (seven), and it was the former's first double-double since Nov. 16 against the Spurs. The fact that Sabonis played 31 minutes is an encouraging sign, and he could reenter the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Available for Friday
Sabonis (knee, rest) will be available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis
Sabonis was rested Wednesday against the Raptors due to left knee injury maintenance -- he had just recently returned from a 27-game absence. Sabonis' minutes have been very limited since his return, and he may face restrictions once again Friday as the Kings continue to err on the side of caution.
