One unexpected King left the loss to the Pelicans with a double-double Drew Eubanks pulled down a solid double-double for the Sacramento Kings, reminding the league why he's there.

1 DAY AGO • AROYALPAIN.COM

Double-double from second unit Eubanks closed Thursday's 133-123 loss to the Pelicans with 15 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and 11 rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench.

Impact It was the first double-double of the season for Eubanks, and his first in the NBA since 2022-23. The journeyman center is getting a bigger look in the frontcourt rotation with Domantas Sabonis (knee) and De'Andre Hunter (eye) both done for the season, and Eubanks has played double-digit minutes in three of the last four games, putting him on the radar as a punt play in DFS.

Falls out of rotation Eubanks (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 137-103 loss to the Warriors.

Impact After returning to action in late December following a seven-game absence due to a left thumb avulsion fracture, Eubanks was part of the Sacramento rotation for four games before losing out on a regular role. Rookie two-way player Dylan Cardwell has since been recalled from the G League and has served as the top backup behind starting center Maxime Raynaud in the past two contests, leaving no minutes available for Eubanks. Even if the Kings opt to reassign Cardwell to the G League in the near future, Eubanks' time in the Sacramento rotation will likely be short-lived since Domantas Sabonis (knee) could be ready to return to action later this month.

Efficient in return Eubanks (thumb) supplied six points (3-4 FG) and three rebounds over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 131-90 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Eubanks returned from a seven-game absence due to a left thumb avulsion fracture Tuesday, and the big man was productive in his limited playing time. Maxime Raynaud is expected to start for as long as Domantas Sabonis (knee) is sidelined, though Eubanks will likely continue to see backup center minutes going forward.

Set for Tuesday return Eubanks (thumb) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Clippers

Impact Eubanks will be available to make his first appearance since Dec. 11 after suffering a left thumb avulsion fracture. He figures to be on a restriction in his first game or two back, but his return will presumably eat into Dylan Cardwell's playing time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 2025 • 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.
