SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis and guard
Zach LaVine will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgeries
Wednesday.
Sabonis, a three-time All-Star, averaged 15.8 points and a team-leading 11.4
rebounds in 19 games this season. He was used sparingly since suffering a
meniscus tear in November, playing in seven of Sacramento's final eight games
in January and appearing in only one game in February.
Sabonis, 29, had surgery in Los Angeles and will begin rehabilitation soon. The
team said he will be re-evaluated prior to the start of training camp.
LaVine had surgery to repair a tendon on his right pinky finger. The
30-year-old guard, who was a hot topic at the trade deadline, is in his second
season with the Kings. He averaged 19.2 points and 2.3 assists in 39 games.
The Kings also said backup center Dylan Caldwell had an MRI on his left ankle
that revealed an ankle sprain. He will be reevaluated in four weeks.
