It’s unclear how serious Domantas Sabonis’ injury is or how much time he’ll miss, if any. Should he miss time or have his play hampered by the injury, it will be a huge blow to the Kings, who have been one of the season’s biggest surprises.

The Kings are 17-14 and sixth in the Western Conference thanks to Sabonis’ All-Star season. They are only three games behind the No. 1 seed Denver Nuggets in a West with no clear favorite.

Sabonis has averaged 17.9 points per game, 12.4 rebounds, and 6.7 assists this season while shooting a career-high 61.2 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from three-point range.

He has appeared in all 31 games for the Kings so far. The Sabonis trade was heavily criticized because Tyrese Haliburton was a promising player.

However, the trade appears to have benefited both teams, with the Kings receiving a nice complement to De’Aaron Fox.

Sabonis was a two-time All-Star for the Pacers and was on his way to becoming a three-time All-Star.
