Sacramento Kings Star Domantas Sabonis Suffered A Meniscus Tear And Will Miss 3-4 Week

The Sacramento Kings faced another disappointing defeat last night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, resulting in a season record of 3-12. Having already battled the Thunder three times within their initial 15 games, the Kings find themselves at 0-3 against the reigning champions. All-Star center Domantas Sabonis missed the matchup due to “knee soreness,” with further investigations revealing a torn meniscus in his left knee. ESPN reports he is expected to be sidelined for the next 3-4 weeks. His unfortunate absence follows earlier injuries, including a hamstring strain and a rib issue, compounding an already arduous season.To bolster their frontcourt, the Kings signed Precious Achiuwa post-season start, who may temporarily step into the starting center role. Drew Eubanks also started against the Thunder, and rookie Dylan Cardwell might see extended playtime as well. Dario Saric, obtained in the Jonas Valanciunas trade, has been inactive since October 26 but could provide necessary support. With young forward Keegan Murray potentially returning soon, the Kings cling to hope amid this challenging stretch.
