Sabonis closed with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 107-100 loss to Orlando.
Sabonis (knee) was scoreless in his first game back from left knee soreness, a strange line for one of the league's most dependable big men. He still moved the ball well as a passer, but he didn't look like himself, and his minutes were limited. He'll have the advantage of a few days of rest before meeting Portland later in the week.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Sabonis (knee) is questionable to play Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Sabonis missed Sunday's 114-108 loss to the Heat with left knee soreness, making it his first absence of the season through 10 games. Dylan Cardwell earned the start with Sabonis sidelined, so if the latter is forced to miss a second straight contest, the former would be the top candidate to start once again.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Records double-double in blowout loss
Rotowire
Sabonis registered 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 124-109 loss to the Spurs.
Sabonis posted another efficient double-double, making eight of 12 shots and adding five assists, which ties him with Victor Wembanyama for third in the league in double-doubles. Four turnovers hurt, and Sacramento never seriously threatened after falling behind by 19 at the half. He's still one of the league's most reliable big men, but the Kings' 1-8 start caps his potential.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Grabs 17 boards
Rotowire
Sabonis logged 16 points (5-10 FG, 6-9 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-103 loss to the Lakers.
Sabonis dominated the glass, pulling down six offensive rebounds among his 17 boards, after grabbing 14 against Memphis on Saturday. His playmaking was quiet, with just one assist, as Darius Acuff handled most of the facilitating duties. Regardless, Sabonis' rebounding alone keeps him among the elite fantasy centers.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Fills box score in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Sabonis racked up 11 points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 136-105 loss to the Grizzlies.
The Kings' shot distribution was dominated by rookie seventh-overall pick Darius Acuff (25 field-goal attempts) and De'Andre Hunter (18), but Sabonis still contributed offensively with a team-high eight assists. It was Sabonis' fourth double-double of the season, and he was two dimes shy from his second triple-double of the 2026-27 campaign. His 15.8 rebounds per game leads the NBA, and he is also averaging 16.0 points, 7.3 assists and 1.0 steals over what is currently a career-high 37.0 minutes per game.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Grabs 15 rebounds in loss
Rotowire
Sabonis finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block across 40 minutes in Thursday's 132-120 loss to the Pelicans.
Sabonis has been absolutely dominant on the glass in the early stages of the season, grabbing at least 14 boards in each game and comfortably leading the NBA in that category at 16.2 per game. The other areas of his game weren't as dominant, however, as he attempted just seven shots while committing seven turnovers. Sabonis' rebounding and playmaking helped offset the single-digit scoring total, though the turnovers were costly for Sacramento. The star big man remains a strong fantasy contributor through his elite rebounding and passing, but his scoring volume can become a concern after back-to-back games with nine points.

Rotowire
Sabonis supplied 20 points (10-16 FG), 14 rebounds and eight assists across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 130-103 loss to the Spurs.

Rotowire
Sabonis finished with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes in Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.
Sabonis followed his triple-double against Portland on Friday with another dominant rebounding performance, collecting at least 15 boards for a third straight game, and he easily leads the league out of the gate in rebounding at 17.3 per game. Sabonis remains a reliable source of rebounds and efficient scoring while also consistently filling the stat sheet. Through three games, he has two double-doubles and one triple-double while shooting an impressive -- yet unsustainable -- 80.8 percent from the floor.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Triple-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Sabonis totaled 27 points (10-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists and five turnovers across 39 minutes in Friday's 128-120 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Sabonis has been a monster through the first two games of the season, amassing 41 points, 37 rebounds and 18 assists while shooting 83.3 percent from the field and 90.9 percent at the stripe. After making it through a career-low 19 games last season, Sabonis looks primed for a massive bounce-back year. Congrats if you snagged him with a top-30 selection on draft day.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Teases triple-double in Wednesday's loss
Rotowire
Sabonis had 14 points (5-5 FG, 4-4 FT), 18 rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 121-96 loss to the Clippers.
The veteran big fell just short of a triple-double in the season opener, but he was one of only four Kings to even score in double digits on the night. Sabonis is likely to have trade rumors circling his head once again as part of a rebuilding roster, but as long as he remains in Sacramento he'll be one of the team's main options and should see more than enough usage to bounce back from a rough 2025-26 that saw him play just 19 regular-season games due to knee trouble.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Shows promise for full load
Rotowire
Sabonis tallied 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes in Friday's 126-97 preseason loss to the Spurs.
Sabonis notched a double-double despite a dreadful night at the charity stripe. Sabonis has been on a long, bumpy road back to elite form, but getting a full 30-minute run in the preseason finale is an encouraging sign of his readiness after missing most of last season with a knee injury.

Sabonis saw a light workload in Sacramento's preseason opener, playing exclusively during the first half. The veteran center remains one of the NBA's premier rebounders and distributors at his position after averaging a double-double during the 2025-26 regular season.
