Impact The veteran center came a few dimes shy of his first triple-double of the season.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact Sabonis was rested Wednesday against the Raptors due to left knee injury maintenance -- he had just recently returned from a 27-game absence.

Sitting out Wednesday Sabonis (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Raptors.

Impact Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so Sabonis will be held out for injury maintenance. During Tuesday's loss to Miami, Sabonis had six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 17 minutes. Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is questionable, so the Kings may need to rely heavily on Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell.

Grabs 10 rebounds in limited action Sabonis chipped in six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 loss to the Heat.

Impact The Kings are taking no chances with Sabonis, and his minutes will likely be capped or at least another week. Given the conservative route taken by the team, he will probably be a scratch for Wednesday's back-to-back game.
