Domantas Sabonis made his return to the Kings in a surprising way The Sacramento Kings have their starting center back for the first time in two months, but he's playing off the bench for now.

Productive in return Sabonis supplied 13 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes off the bench during Friday's 128-115 victory over the W...

Impact Making his return from a knee injury that had sidelined him since Nov. 16, Sabonis was eased into action as part of the second unit but still delivered a solid overall line. The 29-year-old big may not rejoin the starting five right away, but he should still be a fantasy asset in limited minutes. The next big test for Sabonis will come early next week, when the Kings plays back-to-back games at home Tuesday and Wednesday against the Heat and Raptors.

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.

Impact Sabonis will play Friday, but in an effort to limit his minutes, he'll be working in a reserve role. Considering he's been out since 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.

Impact Sabonis will likely have some minutes restrictions 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 due to a preseason hamstring injury and 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.

Impact 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. Maxime Raynaud would likely flip back to a bench role once Sabonis is 100 percent and rid of any kind of minutes restriction.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis to miss another month with knee injury

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis will miss another month due to a left knee injury

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • Associated Press

Missing another 4-to-5 weeks Sabonis (knee) will be sidelined for at least 4-to-5 more weeks, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Impact Sabonis has been rehabbing from a partially torn meniscus in his left knee that he sustained in mid-November. His absence will extend into the new year, and it's unclear whether the veteran center will be available to return before the All-Star break in February. Rookie second-rounder Maxime Raynaud has started in each of the Kings' last five games and should remain in the starting lineup for as long as Sabonis is sidelined.
