Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Out at least one week
The Kings announced Sunday that Sabonis will be re-evaluated in one week after he was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
Sabonis sustained the injury in the first quarter of Saturday's 113-103 win over the Rockets, playing just one minute before exiting the game for good. Though an MRI confirmed only a minor strain of his hamstring, Sabonis will still miss the entirety of the Kings' upcoming-four game week, and quite likely, additional time beyond that. After Sabonis' early exit Saturday, Jonas Valanciunas stepped in to finish with 15 points, 14 rebounds, four steals, three blocks and one assist in 30 minutes. Valanciunas will likely start for the duration of Sabonis' absence and is worthy of a pickup in nearly every league where he's available.
