Keon Ellis - Ruled out Friday Ellis (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Ellis is dealing with left knee soreness and will miss his first game due to an injury this season. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Portland. With the 26-year-old guard unavailable, Malik Monk and Dennis Schroder are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

Domantas Sabonis - 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.

Keon Ellis - Pops up on injury report Ellis (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Impact The Kings are listing Ellis as a late addition due to left knee soreness, which is a bad sign for his chances of playing Friday. The guard's playing time has fluctuated all year long, but Nique Clifford, Malik Monk and Dennis Schroder could all be more involved if Ellis is sidelined.

Domantas Sabonis - 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.

Domantas Sabonis - 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.

Domantas Sabonis - 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.

Impact This was a mild effort for the rookie, but he continues to be heavily involved for the Kings. He remains a low-end fantasy asset, posting averages of 9.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.3 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest over his last eight games.

Impact Achiuwa recorded his third double-double of the campaign and notched a season-high 20 points, helping the Kings pick up their third straight win.
