Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis is set to return from injury on Friday night against the Washington Wizards, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. Sabonis has been sidelined with a partial meniscus tear for the last 27 games.

He is listed as questionable for Friday's game.

Sabonis last played on Nov. 16, and in his 11 games this season, he's averaged 17.2 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists. The three-time All-Star ultimately opted against surgery and rehabbed carefully, per Slater.


Trade speculation has surrounded Sabonis and the Kings in general, and that will only ratchet up as the deadline looms less than three weeks away. Sabonis signed a four-year, $186 million contract before the 2024-25 season, and has three years and $136.3 million remaining.

The Kings are 11-30, which is the second-worst record in the Western Conference, and they went 8-19 without Sabonis in the lineup. But after seven straight losses, Sacramento is on a three-game win streak, and will look to add to it against the 10-29 Wizards.
