Notches best game as King Sabonis racked up 33 points (15-23 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 128-110 loss to Denver.

Impact Sabonis had been solid but unspectacular in his first four games with Sacramento, averaging 17.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per contest. He broke through with a big scoring effort Thursday, eclipsing the 30-point mark for the first time since scoring 42 against the Jazz as a member of the Pacers on Jan. 8. The big man also led all players in the contest with 14 boards and paced the Kings with five dimes. Needless to say, fantasy managers who roster Sabonis will be more than pleased if he maintains anywhere near this type of production over the second half of the campaign.

Nears triple-double in loss Sabonis accumulated 22 points (10-15 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Bulls.

Impact After a disappointing nine-point game Monday, Sabonis had an incredible comeback performance, ending just two assists shy of a triple-double. The 25-year-old is now averaging 17.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists through his first four games with the Kings. As All-Star Weekend has arrived, Sabonis now has a full week to further settle in with his new team.

Impact Sabonis connected on under half his shots for just the third time across his past 15 games. Monday's lack of production is an outlier, but Sacramento being thoroughly outplayed by Seth Curry and Brooklyn's backup options is symbolic of the team's poor play. It's a factor that will likely add volatility to Sabonis' day-to-day production.

Continues to shine Sabonis ended with 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and seven assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 123-110 win over the Wizards.

Impact Sabonis continues to display his impressive all-around ability after being traded from Indiana to Sacramento before the deadline, and he has two double-doubles with at least five assists in his first two performances wearing a Kings uniform. Including the end of his Pacers tenure, the star big man has seven double-doubles across his last eight appearances overall. The Kings appear to be set on chasing a play-in spot, so expect Sabonis to co-lead the offense with De'Aaron Fox on a nightly basis the rest of the way.

Impressive in Kings debut Sabonis chipped in 22 points (10-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 132-119 victory over Minnesota.

Impact In his first game since being traded from Indiana to Sacramento on Tuesday, Sabonis led his new team in rebounds and finished with his 35th double-double of the campaign. That number is tied with Rudy Gobert for second-most in the NBA, behind only Nikola Jokic, who has produced 42 double-doubles. Sabonis appears to have had no trouble fitting in with the Kings and should get every opportunity to continue posting big numbers moving forward.

Domantas Sabonis to Make Kings' Debut Wednesday Against Timberwolves The Kings should have their newest potential building block in the lineup when they host Minnesota tonight.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • NESN.COM

Cleared to debut for Kings Sabonis (pending trade) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact The trade with the Pacers has officially gone through, allowing Sabonis, Justin Holiday and Jeremy Lamb to suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Minnesota. Sabonis averaged 18.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.7 minutes in 47 games for the Pacers this season, and he should operate as the co-No. 1 option for Sacramento alongside guard De'Aaron Fox.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Availability uncertain Wednesday Coach Alvin Gentry said it remains unclear whether Sabonis (pending trade) will be available for Wednesday's matchup with Minnesota, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday have all passed their physical examinations after being acquired by the Kings earlier this week, but the players sent to the Pacers are apparently still awaiting medical approval, per Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com. Sabonis, Lamb and Holiday should make their debut Wednesday for Sacramento if the trade is finalized prior to the 10 p.m. ET opening tip, otherwise the trio will need to wait until Saturday at Washington.
