Domantas Sabonis exited Wednesday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers in the second half with a right hamstring injury. On Thursday, Chris Haynes reported that it is a mild hamstring strain.
Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis sustained a mild hamstring strain and he’ll miss the preseason finale vs. Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, league sources tell me.

No official medical update has been released by the Kings.
A “mild” hamstring strain is defined as a Grade 1 injury, the least severe, which is a good thing. Last season, on March 1, Sabonis suffered a grade 1 left hamstring injury in a win over the Houston Rockets. He didn’t play in a game again until March 14. The injury being mild is the best possible outcome, but with Keegan Murray already out 4-6 weeks, missing Sabonis in the front court at the same time to start the season could make things pretty rough out of the gate.
We’ll keep you updated as any new information comes out.
