He missed the Kings' last game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, contributing to the team's seven consecutive losses and dropping their record to 3-12 on the season. Sabonis is averaging 17.2 points and 12.3 rebounds this year. A re-evaluation is planned in three to four weeks, but a return date remains unclear. The Kings are on a five-game road trip, schedule to face the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night and the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.
