Overview

  • ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Wednesday that Sabonis had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.
  • Sabonis attempted non-surgical rehab after a November tear, returned Jan. 16, and logged 19 games with averages of 15.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in limited minutes.
  • Guard Zach LaVine underwent season-ending surgery the same day to repair a tendon injury in his right fifth finger.
  • With Sabonis out and rookie Dylan Cardwell sidelined at least four weeks by a sprained ankle, Maxime Raynaud, Precious Achiuwa and Drew Eubanks are expected to handle center minutes.
  • Keegan Murray said he is ready to return and De’Andre Hunter practiced fully, while Sacramento sits at an NBA-worst 12-44 and draws fan chatter about angling for draft position.
