Kings won 128-115 for a fourth straight win, with Sabonis returning from a knee injury and Westbrook leading scoring. Washington lost again and Trae Young remains out with knee and quad issues. Sacramento jumped ahead with a huge first quarter, stabilised after a messy second, then won the third-quarter margin to control the finish. Sabonis provided efficient minutes off the bench, while Westbrook’s three-point shooting powered the offense.

Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis will miss at least another month with a partial left meniscus tear, extending an absence that has coincided with the team sinking near the bottom of the Western Conference at 6-21 after 11 appearances from their All-Star center. Sabonis, who averaged 17.2 points and 12.3 rebounds before the injury, will be re-evaluated in four to five weeks as the Kings lean on rookie Maxime Raynaud. The second-rounder has seized the extra minutes, posting rising scoring and rebounding numbers over his last eight games.

Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis has been ruled out with a partial meniscus tear in his left knee and will be re-evaluated in three to four weeks, a serious setback for a Kings team already sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference at 3-12. The 29-year-old former All-Star has averaged 17.2 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 11 games this season, anchoring Sacramento’s offense and rebounding, and his absence will force deeper rotation minutes on a struggling roster that lacks alternative interior playmaking and reliable size.

Sabonis sustained a Grade-1 left hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in a week, sidelining him for the opener at Phoenix and the home debut versus Utah. Keegan Murray remains out following thumb surgery. Injury occurred in preseason versus the Clippers. Sacramento will stagger usage through backup bigs and handoff sets redistributed across guards/wings, protecting re-injury risk with progressive running, eccentrics, and change-of-direction testing before clearance.
