Coming out of Christmas Break, the Sacramento Kings (13-17) are losers of four straight and sitting 12th in the Western Conference. If they want to save their season, they need to do it fast, and on Thursday, they will have a chance to start their revival against a team with an identical record to them: the Detroit Pistons (13-17).
But who will the Sacramento Kings have available to them? What about the Pistons? Here is the full injury report heading into tonight’s game.
Sacramento Kings Injury Report
As you can tell from the title of the post, the main headliner on the Kings’ front is their All-Star forward, Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis is a notorious iron man. However, it seems he’s been hit with an illness, which has him now listed as questionable for tonight’s game (per Basketball Reference). In general, that designation usually means you have a 50/50 chance of playing. So far, Sabonis has already missed two games this season. That’s already two more than he missed last year.
Outside of Sabonis, the only other Kings player on the injury report is their 2024 first round pick, Devin Carter. Carter has yet to suit up for his new team, as he’s been rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery. He will continue to be out tonight, and he’s set to be re-evaluated in January (per Matt George). Carter was a great add for where they got him in the draft, but it is unlikelythat he will significantly move the needle for this team in his inaugural campaign.
Detroit Pistons Injury Report
For the Pistons, there are three names to monitor as we get closer to tip-off. Those players are Jalen Duren (ankle), Ron Holland (illness), and Isaiah Stewart (knee). Stewart and Holland are both listed as questionable. Meanwhile, Duren is considered probable (meaning he has about a 75% chance of playing tonight).
The Pistons better hope that they won’t be without both Duren and Stewart, as it will put a large amount of weight on Paul Reed’s shoulders – a player they have already had to lean on a great deal with Stewart missing their last three games.
After tonight’s game, the Kings will travel to Los Angeles to face off against the Lakers for the third time this season on Saturday, December 28.
Domantas Sabonis injury status and update ahead of Kings’ game against Pistons
The Sacramento Kings will be facing off against the Detroit Pistons in their upcoming game, and all eyes are on the status of star player Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis is currently dealing with a knee injury that has kept him out of the lineup in recent games.
According to reports, Sabonis has been making progress in his recovery and is currently listed as questionable for the game against the Pistons. The team is hopeful that he will be able to return to action soon, but they are also being cautious with his recovery to ensure that he is fully healthy before returning to the court.
Sabonis has been a key player for the Kings this season, averaging 19.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. His absence has been felt on both ends of the court, and the team is eager to have him back in the lineup.
Fans will have to wait and see if Sabonis will be able to suit up for the game against the Pistons, but regardless of his status, the Kings will be looking to put up a strong performance and secure a much-needed win. Stay tuned for further updates on Sabonis’ injury status as game time approaches.
