Impact Sabonis' name has been tossed around in trade rumors for the last several months, and he now finds himself on the move after four-and-a-half years in Indiana. One of the best offensive big men in the league, Sabonis averaged 18.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals through 47 games in a Pacers uniform this season. He goes from one non-contending team to another, so in terms of the basketball situation, not a whole lot should change for Sabonis over the final two months of the season. Assuming his workload is not limited for draft-pick-improvement purposes, Sabonis should function as the co-No. 1 option alongside De'Aaron Fox (ankle) in Sacramento.

Meager numbers in return Sabonis (COVID-19 protocols) played 26 minutes and finished with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists Sunday in the Pacers' 98-85 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Sabonis made only his third appearance of the past two and a half weeks, as the two-time All-Star missed four games with a sprained left ankle and three more after testing positive for COVID-19. In his first game since exiting the health and safety protocols, Sabonis dealt with some early foul trouble and may have had a light playing-time restriction in place, but he shouldn't face any limitations in the games to come. Unless Indiana ships him elsewhere ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline, Sabonis seemingly has the upside to increase his season-long averages of 18.9 points and 5.0 assists per game. Myles Turner (foot), T.J. Warren (foot), T.J. McConnell (wrist) are out indefinitely, the newly acquired Ricky Rubio (knee) is out for the season and Malcolm Brogdon has played just two games since December due to a recurring Achilles issue that could result in him being shut down at some point. Meanwhile, the Pacers dealt Caris LeVert away to the Cavaliers on Sunday, leaving Sabonis as one of the few healthy players on the roster capable of shouldering heavy usage on offense.

Will be available Sunday Coach Rick Carlisle said Sabonis (COVID-19 protocols) will be available for Sunday's contest against the Cavaliers, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.

Impact Sabonis has missed the past three games due to protocols, but he'll be back in the mix Sunday. It's possible he'll be limited during his return to action, but that remains to be seen. In January, the talented big man averaged 22.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists in 37.3 minutes per game.

Questionable Sunday Sabonis (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Sabonis has missed the past three games due to protocols. If available, he could be on a minutes limit. His January was excellent, as he averaged 22.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists in 37.3 minutes.

Lands in COVID-19 protocols Sabonis is listed as out for Monday's contest against the Clippers due to the NBA's health and safety protocols.

Impact Sabonis presumably landed in COVID-19 protocols Monday and may be sidelined for the entirety of the Pacers' upcoming four-game week. Backups Goga Bitadze (foot) and Oshae Brissett (ankle) are both questionable, so Indiana may have to rely heavily on Isaiah Jackson.

Posts fifth-straight double-double Sabonis amassed 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 29 minutes during Saturday's 132-105 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Although a four-game absence occurred during his double-double streak, the ankle injury that sidelined him didn't seem to have much effect despite the heavy load he has to carry. He's now a full-time starter at the five due to Myles Turner's (foot) extended absence. Fantasy managers should expect an exceptionally high rebound average while Turner is sidelined.

Officially available Saturday Sabonis (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Coach Rick Carlisle expressed optimism prior to Saturday's matchup that Sabonis would be able to suit up, and the 25-year-old will officially be available. He played 44 minutes Friday against the Thunder in spite of his ankle injury, so it's unlikely that he'll be limited by the issue against Dallas.

Likely to play Saturday Coach Rick Carlisle said that he thinks Sabonis (ankle) will be able to play Saturday against the Mavericks, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact A previous report indicated that Sabonis would be available for Saturday's matchup, but the status came from Carlisle's pregame comment. Although the 25-year-old's status isn't yet official, he'll likely be able to suit up once again.

Available against Dallas Sabonis (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Sabonis will be able to play through a sprained left ankle once again. It's unlikely that he'll face any restrictions due to his injury Saturday since he played 44 minutes in Friday's overtime win over Oklahoma City.
