Once again, the Kings will be without Domantas Sabonis on Wednesday night.
Sacramento's star big man is listed as out for the team's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden 1 Center, per the latest NBA injury report, with a right ankle sprain.
Sabonis sustained the injury in the third quarter of the Kings' 132-122 win over the Memphis Grizzles on Monday, and it was evident as he hobbled to the locker room that the incident could be serious.

Before the ankle injury, Sabonis was playing in just his second game back after missing six contests with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Disaster struck again Monday when Sabonis was driving to the rim and awkwardly rolled his right ankle as he went for the layup.
In 57 games during the 2024-25 NBA season so far, Sabonis is averaging a double-double with 19.1 points, 14.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists.
The Kings went on to beat the Grizzlies without Sabonis and snap a four-game losing streak, and they'll have to keep things rolling without him at home Wednesday night against the NBA-leading Cavaliers.
