Kings' Sabonis, LaVine Out for Rest of Season After Surgeries
Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine underwent surgeries for knee and finger injuries, ending their seasons and leaving the Kings with the NBA's worst 12-44 record, league sources said.
- On Wednesday, Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine underwent season-ending surgeries, sidelining the Sacramento Kings' two highest-paid players; Sabonis' surgery was successful and LaVine's repaired a finger tendon.
- Following an early-February finger injury, LaVine elected to have surgery after missing games, ending his season, while Sabonis had surgery to repair a torn meniscus after rehabbing and playing eight games this year.
- Sabonis averaged 15.8 points and 11.4 rebounds while shooting 54.3% and will finish the 2025-26 season with just 19 games, and LaVine averaged 19.2 points in 39 games before injury.
- At 12-44, the Kings' standing worsens as injuries remove two starters, intensifying a crowded tank race with 26 games to go and opening roles for rookie Maxime Raynaud.
- LaVine holds a $48.9 million player option and is expected to opt in, while Sabonis has two years and $94 million left and both stayed after the trade deadline.
