Kings Facing Adversity with LaVine’s Injury
The Sacramento Kings are navigating a turbulent stretch, having dropped three straight games and seven of their last eight. As if that weren’t enough, the team must now contend with the absence of another key player. Domantas Sabonis, the star center, has already missed the last 12 games due to a partial meniscus tear, and now the Kings will be without Zach LaVine.
LaVine, a two-time All-Star guard, exited the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves early after sustaining an ankle injury. Following the game, the team confirmed that he suffered a moderate left ankle sprain. The Kings announced that LaVine will be re-evaluated in a week, leaving fans and teammates anxious about his recovery and return.
Adding to the team’s woes, Sabonis is dealing with an illness and was absent from practice today. The loss of both players presents a significant challenge for Sacramento as they aim to turn their season around amidst this injury crisis.
