"Sabonis had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. He suffered the tear in mid-November, missed 27 games attempting to rehab it and was relatively productive in his eight games back prior to the All-Star break. But the Kings' season is going nowhere. They have a league-worst 12-44 record and have lost 14 consecutive games. Long banished from the playoff chase, Sabonis is opting for the surgery and full repair on his left knee, setting his eyes toward next season."
"LaVine is in a similar spot. He averaged 19.2 points in his 39 games prior to the All-Star break, but missed five of the previous 10 games and is opting to get surgery on a tendon injury in his right hand, ending his season. LaVine has a $48.9 million player option for next season and all indications are he will opt-in to that final year of his current Kings deal. Sabonis has two years and $94 million left on his contract."
Domantas Sabonis underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee after missing multiple games. He returned briefly before the All-Star break but opted for full repair, ending his season. Zach LaVine elected surgery on a tendon injury in his right hand after averaging 19.2 points in 39 games, ending his season. The Kings hold a league-worst 12-44 record and a 14-game losing streak. Sacramento explored trades for both players before the deadline but could not complete deals; new GM Scott Perry is expected to revisit trade discussions this summer. LaVine has a $48.9 million player option; Sabonis has two years and $94 million remaining.
