The Sacramento Kings are preparing for a key Wednesday night matchup against the Golden State Warriors. However, the game will miss much of its usual star presence due to several player absences.
Earlier in the day, the Warriors confirmed that Stephen Curry would not play because of an illness. Later that afternoon, the Kings shared their own updates, ruling out two of their major contributors.
Domantas Sabonis has been sidelined with a left ribcage contusion. According to team updates, this marks his first missed game since the opening night of the season.
Zach LaVine will also not participate in the matchup due to lower back soreness, further reducing the Kings’ available firepower against Golden State.
"No, Domantas Sabonis has been ruled out of the Wednesday night matchup with the Warriors. Sabonis has a left ribcage contusion. No, Zach LaVine is also out on Wednesday night against Golden State. His absence will be due to lower back soreness."
The Kings will play the Warriors without Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine, both sidelined by injuries, while Golden State also misses Stephen Curry due to illness.
