Fantasy Impact
With Precious Achiuwa (ankle) also listed as questionable, the Kings could lean heavily on Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell in the frontcourt.
Sabonis made his return Friday after missing nearly two months with a partially-torn meniscus, finishing with 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting in Sacramento's 128-115 victory over Washington. He came off the bench and logged 21 minutes while adding six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block. The center converted three of five free-throw attempts in his first game back.
Fantasy Impact
The win extended Sacramento's winning streak to four games. Sabonis' return ends his lengthy absence caused by the meniscus injury, with Maxime Raynaud remaining in the rotation as well.
Sabonis is anticipated to play in Friday's matchup with Washington, ending a 27-game absence due to a partial meniscus tear in his knee, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports. The star big man is expected to return to the starting lineup, potentially moving rookie first-rounder Maxime Raynaud back to a reserve role. Through 11 games this season, Sabonis has averaged 17.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals across 33.2 minutes per game.
Fantasy Impact
Friday would mark Sabonis' first action since sustaining the knee injury. His return comes after missing nearly a month recovering from the partial meniscus tear.
Sacramento lists Sabonis as questionable for Friday's 10 p.m. ET matchup with Washington after the veteran big man completed a full practice Thursday. He's been sidelined for 27 games due to a partial meniscus tear in his left knee, with Friday potentially marking his first action in two months. The Kings will assess his status following their morning shootaround before making a final decision.
Fantasy Impact
Sabonis has dealt with multiple injuries during the first half of the season, missing the 2025-26 opener while recovering from a preseason hamstring issue and sitting out two November games with a left ribcage contusion. His questionable designation represents progress following Thursday's full practice session.
Domantas Sabonis was a full participant in practice on Thursday.
