Kings lose leading scorer Zach LaVine to left ankle injury in loss to Timberwolves

Sacramento Kings leading scorer Zach LaVine injured his left ankle midway through the second quarter against Minnesota and was ruled out for the rest of the game

Kings Center Sidelined for Three Weeks With New Injury Sacramento’s already thin center position somehow got thinner today. The Kings announced on Saturday that Drew Eubanks has an avulsion fract...

DECEMBER 14 • SI.COM

To be re-evaluated in three weeks Eubanks sustained a left thumb avulsion fracture in Thursday's loss to Denver and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Eubanks logged just four minutes before exiting Thursday's contest and will miss an extended period due to the thumb injury. With the big man sidelined, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud are candidates for increased playing time, especially until Domantas Sabonis (knee) is cleared to return.

Won't go Sunday Eubanks (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Impact Eubanks sustained a left thumb avulsion fracture in Thursday's loss to the Denver and won't play Sunday. With the big man sidelined, Precious Achiuwa could see an uptick in minutes behind Maxime Raynaud.

DECEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers thumb injury Eubanks suffered a right thumb injury and will not return to Thursday's game against Denver, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Eubanks logged just four minutes in this game before leaving for good. For now, he can be considered questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Logs six minutes in loss Eubanks notched three points (0-1 FG, 3-4 FT) and one rebound across six minutes during Monday's 116-105 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Eubanks logged just six minutes, the fewest he has played since the third game of the season. Following a knee injury to Domantas Sabonis, Eubanks was inserted as the starting center for eight straight games. However, a lack of production has basically seen him fall out of the rotation, with rookie Maxime Raynaud supplanting him in the starting lineup. Based on recent events, there is no reason to be holding Eubanks outside of the deepest formats.

One King might not be a starter much longer (and it's good for Sacramento) Drew Eubanks has been covering for the injured Domantas Sabonis, but the Sacramento Kings are preparing to move rookie Maxime Raynaud into t...

DECEMBER 6 • AROYALPAIN.COM

Limited to 10 minutes Eubanks accumulated two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 FT), one rebound and one block in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 121-95 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Maxime Raynaud exploded for a career-high 25 points in the loss, while Eubanks continues to be used sparingly by the Kings. Even with Domantas Sabonis (knee) out a while, Eubanks' fantasy appeal is limited, while Raynaud is quickly trending up as a waiver-wire add.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Logs two steals in spot start Eubanks provided six points (3-6 FG), three rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 113-99 loss to the Thunder.

Impact With Domantas Sabonis (knee) ruled out for Thursday's contest, Eubanks started again, but did not perform as well as he did in his last two starts. Since Sabonis expected to play Friday, as he was ruled out for the first leg of Sacramento's back-to-back set, Eubanks will likely retreat to the bench.

Drew Eubanks had himself a game against the Nuggets (and fans want more) The Sacramento Kings have a solid backup to Domantas Sabonis in Drew Eubanks, who played an incredible game against the Denver Nuggets.

Nuggets extend winning streak to five with victory over Kings

Nikola Jokic scored 35 points and had 15 rebounds, Jamal Murray added 23 points and the Denver Nuggets won their fifth game in a row, 122-108 over the Sacramento Kings

Reverting back to bench Sunday Eubanks won't start in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact With Domantas Sabonis (ribs) returning from a two-game absence, Eubanks will retreat to the second unit. Over his last five games off the bench, the big man has averaged 5.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Fills in with low rebound total Eubanks registered 16 points (8-11 FG, 0-2 FT), one rebound, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 132-101 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Although Eubanks scored 16 points as Domantas Sabonis' (rib) replacement, it was hard to grab many boards during Isaiah Hartenstein's career game. Maxime Raynaud actually led the team in rebounds, thanks to garbage time with Hartenstein off the floor.

Hartenstein has 33 points and 19 rebounds to help the Thunder rout the Kings

Isaiah Hartenstein had a career-high 33 points along with 19 rebounds and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Sacramento Kings 132-101 on Friday night

Tallies 12 points in start Eubanks posted 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Eubanks moved into the starting lineup after Domantas Sabonis was ruled out with a rib injury. He has now scored double digits in three straight games, with this performance the most encouraging. While he does provide Sacramento with an adequate replacement, the injury to Sabonis doesn't sound as though it is going to cost him a significant amount of time.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Eubanks is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Impact Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is out for Wednesday's game, so Eubanks will draw the spot-start and he'll be joined in the first unit by Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, Dennis Schroder and Nique Clifford. In Eubanks' previous start this season he finished with four points, four rebounds, two steals and four blocks over 22 minutes.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double figures Eubanks closed with 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes in Saturday's 135-133 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Eubanks was highly efficient Saturday, missing just one shot from the field while scoring in double figures for the first time this season. Entering the matchup averaging only 1.8 points through Sacramento's first five games -- and held scoreless in three of them -- the 28-year-old made the most of his opportunity. Though he's averaged just 12.8 minutes across six contests, continued solid outings like this could earn Eubanks a larger role in the post led by Domantas Sabonis but otherwise light on proven contributors behind rookies Dylan Cardwell and Maxime Raynaud.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Eubanks will head to the bench for Friday's game against the Jazz, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Impact Eubanks started in Sacramento's season-opener with Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) unavailable, but Sabonis will return without any minutes restrictions for Friday's game, so Eubanks' minutes will see a dramatic dip. As a member of the reserves, Eubanks isn't worth targeting in most formats.

Swats four shots Eubanks finished Wednesday's 120-116 loss to Phoenix with four points (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 22 minutes.

Impact Eubanks started this game at center with Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) on the shelf. Sabonis is scheduled to be re-evaluated after Friday's game against the Jazz, so Eubanks is likely to have at least one more game of streaming appeal as a source of rebounds and blocks. He's unlikely to have much value once Sabonis returns, to be clear.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

An unexpected King made a strong case for being Domantas Sabonis' backup Drew Eubanks filled in for Domantas Sabonis against the Los Angeles Lakers and proved he might be the right fit for the role.

OCTOBER 19 • AROYALPAIN.COM

Adds 10 in preseason finale Eubanks put up 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal over 20 minutes in Friday's 117-117 preseason victory over the Lakers.

Impact Eubanks is in competition with Dario Saric for minutes behind Domantas Sabonis as the backup big man, and while Eubanks did start, it is worth noting that Saric played five more minutes. More clarity will be provided leading up to Sacramento's regular season opener, but it would not be surprising if both Eubanks and Saric are both used in the second unit to settle the competition.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Adds 10 in preseason finale Eubanks put up 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal over 20 minutes in Friday's 117-117 preseason victory over the Lakers.

Starting vs. Lakers Eubanks is starting Friday's preseason game against the Lakers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The Kings are tweaking their lineup for their preseason finale and will have Drew Eubanks starting at center over Dario Saric. Eubanks is vying for a role as a depth piece in the frontcourt.
