Dennis Schröder
January 2026
Schröder received a three-game unpaid suspension for confronting and attempting to strike another player in an arena hallway about 40 minutes after a loss to the Lakers. The NBA disciplined him after the postgame altercation; he begins serving the ban in the next Kings game, sidelining him for three contests.

Schröder was banned three games without pay for confronting and attempting to strike another player in an arena hallway after a Kings loss. The NBA said Schröder sought out the player roughly 40 minutes after the game and initiated the incident. The suspension starts with Sacramento’s next game against Houston.
Keegan Murray
January 2026
The Kings announced Keegan Murray has a moderate left ankle sprain and will be reevaluated in three to four weeks. Murray suffered the injury in a loss to Milwaukee, adding to a disrupted season after an earlier thumb ligament injury, as Sacramento sit near the bottom of the West.
Russell Westbrook
December 2025
Russell Westbrook climbed to seventh on the NBA’s all-time assists list, passing Magic Johnson with his 10,142nd dime and finishing the night on 10,149. He also recorded his 2,000th career steal, becoming only the 14th player in league history to reach that mark. The Kings guard, a former MVP and three-time assists leader, now has realistic chances to leapfrog Mark Jackson and Steve Nash this season, while also chasing Mookie Blaylock and Karl Malone in career steals. The double milestone underlines his long-term playmaking and defensive impact despite changing roles late in his career.
Domantas Sabonis
December 2025
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.

November 2025
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.
Stephon Castle (San Antonio Spurs)
November 2025
Stephon Castle is expected to miss two to three weeks after an MRI showed a left hip flexor strain, adding another significant absence to a San Antonio Spurs team that will already be without Victor Wembanyama and fellow guard Jordan McLaughlin for at least the next few weeks. Castle left at half time against Sacramento and now joins Wembanyama, who has a left calf strain, and McLaughlin, who strained his right hamstring in practice, leaving a 9-4 Spurs team that opened 5-0 to navigate a tricky stretch without the previous two Rookie of the Year winners in uniform.
Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs)
November 2025
Victor Wembanyama will miss time with a left calf strain after a dominant early season in which he averaged huge numbers and drove the Spurs to their best start in a decade, raising fresh concern after last year’s deep vein thrombosis limited him to 46 games. He left the loss to Golden State after a 26-point, 12-rebound performance and then sat out the win over Sacramento while undergoing scans. Expected to miss two to three weeks, he now focuses on recovery while San Antonio try to keep momentum without their shot-blocking, scoring and rebounding focal point.
Sacramento Kings
November 2025
Sacramento added Precious Achiuwa on a standard deal and waived Isaac Jones. Achiuwa brings 320 games of high-motor frontcourt depth, playoff experience, and switchable defence, addressing bench size/energy needs while preserving lineup optionality behind the starting bigs. Expect Achiuwa in high-tempo bench units as a rim runner, short-roll passer, and multi-position defender. His offensive glass rate and ability to guard in space fit Sacramento’s pace-and-space identity, providing insurance for matchup-driven rotations through the winter schedule.
Domantas Sabonis (Sacramento Kings)
October 2025
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.
