It was an outside shot at best, but the Sacramento Kings playoff hopes were dashed on Monday. Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed that Kings’ center Domantas Sabonis would miss the team’s upcoming five-game road trip with a bruised left knee.
Sabonis suffered the injury following a collision in Sunday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns. Diagnostics didn’t reveal any structural damage, and the veteran big man will be re-evaluated at the start of April.
The injury means that Sabonis will miss the meeting against his former club after being traded by the Indiana Pacers at the start of February.
