The Sacramento Kings have been attempting to get by without their talented big man, Domantas Sabonis, but that is easier said than done.
Therefore, the team is happy to see Sabonis healing from his ankle injury.
According to Marc Stein, Sabonis has made “significant progress” after missing three games with his injury and is now “questionable” for Monday’s match.
Sabonis was a full participant in Sunday’s practice and is clearly headed in the right direction.
The Kings say Domantas Sabonis has made “significant progress” after missing three games with a moderate right ankle sprain and will be listed as questionable for Monday’s game after Sabonis was a full participant in Sunday’s practice.

The sooner Sabonis can be back, the better.
He is averaging 19.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game on 59.3 percent from the field and 42.5 percent from the three-point line.
In a season filled with substantial changes, Sabonis has been remarkably consistent and reliable.
He is viewed as one of the best big men in the league, and long-term success isn’t likely without him.
Right now, the Kings are the ninth seed in the West, and they are hoping they can get Sabonis back quickly so they can reclaim their rhythm and chemistry before the postseason.
Getting through the Play-In will be very hard this year, with teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Clippers, and Phoenix Suns currently in the mix.
When Sabonis went down with his injury, some people feared he could be out for a very long time.
But he last played on March 17 and is obviously on his way to a return soon.
The Kings have lost their last two games and play the Boston Celtics on Monday.
Following that, it’ll be the Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers, and Orlando Magic.
When will Sabonis be back in the lineup?
