US EditionKings star Domantas Sabonis returns against Wizards after missing 27 games because of knee injury
- On Friday, Sacramento Kings All-Star Domantas Sabonis returned against the Washington Wizards after missing 27 games with a knee meniscus injury; he was questionable but expected to play, ESPN's Shams Charania reported.
- After two months of rehab, Sabonis has not played since November 16th but was seen at recent shootarounds, signaling a likely return soon.
- In 11 games prior to the injury, Sabonis averaged 17.2 points and 12.3 rebounds on 51.0% shooting and came off the bench with 5:11 left in Friday's game.
- With the Kings 11-30, Sabonis is a Feb. 5 trade candidate and Kings general manager Scott Perry has been open to offers for veterans with three years, $136.3 million remaining.
- Sabonis' return should lift playmaking alongside Russell Westbrook, while Maxime Raynaud started at center and Dylan Cardwell served as rim-protector in his absence.
