Stephen Curry scored a season-high 47 points, knocking down seven 3-pointers, and the Golden State Warriors beat the Sacramento Kings 116-113 to snap a five-game losing streak

Season-high 25 points in win Sabonis finished with 25 points (10-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-12 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 overtime victory over the Ma...

Impact Sabonis had a great night shooting the ball from everywhere but the foul line, going 10-of-14 from the field while knocking down just five of 12 free throw attempts. The Kings center played a key role in keeping his team alive in the contest, including in the first quarter when he scored seven of nine consecutive points for the Kings to bring them back within three. It was Sabonis' highest-scoring output of the season and the second game in a row with a double-double.

Grabs 22 points, 12 boards Sabonis registered 22 points (8-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 loss to Miami.

Impact Sabonis had a big first quarter, knocking down four of his six shots for eight points, with two easy buckets coming off assists from Malik Monk. The Kings power forward also racked up five of his game-high 12 rebounds (tied with Tyler Herro) in the quarter and added another five boards in the third quarter as Sacramento and Miami traded leads in the second half. Sabonis only made one of two field goals in the fourth quarter, though he did knock down all four of his free throw attempts to give him six points in the period, as the Kings fell to the Heat to take their fifth loss of the season.

Fouls out again Monday Sabonis contributed nine points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 31 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 115-108 win over the Hornets.

Impact Sabonis fouled out in the win, although he was still able to put up meaningful contributions. Efficiency was an issue, something he has been able to largely avoid thus far this season, at least from the field. He is still adjusting to playing under Mike Brown, something that should come around at some point in the near future.

Posts second double-double performance Sabonis totaled 19 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 loss to Golden State.

Impact Sabonis recorded his second consecutive double-double, leading Sacramento in rebounding while finishing second on the team in scoring Sunday. Sabonis is averaging 14.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists in three contests.

Curry scores 33 for third 30-point game, Warriors beat Kings

Stephen Curry scored 28 of his 33 points during an 89-point first half, and the Golden State Warriors beat former top assistant Mike Brown and his Sacramento Kings 130-125

Records double-double in loss Sabonis finished with 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Sabonis partially redeemed himself in his second game with a more characteristic result. Still, Sabonis lacks the fantasy pop that he demonstrated several times last season. Fantasy managers should be patient, as his numbers are bound to climb, and Saturday's double-double was an encouraging sign.

Tepid performance in opener Sabonis contributed 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 115-108 loss to t...

Impact Next to Jerami Grant's performance, Sabonis' subpar showing was the biggest surprise of the evening. The Trail Blazers applied maximum pressure to the big man, and he eventually fouled out to end a frustrating evening. His four-rebound result marked his worst regular-season performance in the category since last December as a Pacer against Miami.

Misses practice, to play Sunday Sabonis missed Saturday's practice due to a personal matter but should be available for Sunday's exhibition against the Trail Blazers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact The two-time All-Star shouldn't miss any time beyond Saturday due to the issue. In his first preseason appearance, he posted four points, five rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 15 minutes.

OCTOBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sees limited action in exhibition Sabonis logged four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots across 15 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition win over the Lakers.

Impact The Kings will probably play it safe with Sabonis throughout the preseason after he ended the 2021-22 campaign with a knee injury. The team made a considerable investment in bringing Sabonis to Sacramento, so expect his exhibition minutes to be capped so he is fresh for the regular season.
