The Sacramento Kings were hoping Domantas Sabonis could work through his left meniscus tear without going under the knife. He suffered the injury in November and decided to skip surgery, targeting a return sometime in January instead.
Sabonis did make it back to the court in mid-January, but things didn’t go as planned. He only played in eight of the team’s final 15 games heading into the All-Star break, and his minutes were limited to 24.9 per game.
The rhythm he had before the injury just was not there, and it became clear the original approach was not working.
Now the Kings are taking a different route. ESPN insider Shams Charania reported Wednesday that Sabonis underwent surgery to repair the meniscus damage. The procedure is done, and Sacramento will be without its starting center for what’s left of the 2025-26 season.
