In a recent matchup against the Houston Rockets, Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings found himself exiting the game shortly after it began due to an injury. The game took place on Saturday night and was marked by an unfortunate turn for Sabonis just minutes into play.
The incident occurred when Sabonis was sprinting down the court and suddenly stopped, clutching his left hamstring in visible discomfort. Observing this, interim coach Doug Christie immediately called a timeout, allowing for Sabonis to be assisted off the court and escorted to the locker room for further evaluation.
Following his removal from the court, it was confirmed by the team that Sabonis had suffered a hamstring injury, effectively ruling him out for the remainder of the game. His absence was a significant loss for the Kings, as Sabonis has been a consistent contributor this season. He’s been averaging impressive statistics with 19.9 points, 14.4 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game, showcasing his value and skill on the court.
The team and fans alike will be waiting with bated breath for further updates on Sabonis’ condition, hopeful for a swift recovery.
