Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ankle) will return from a three-game absence for Monday's clash with the Celtics. It hasn't been a quality month for the veteran, missing time because of hamstring and ankle issues. He'll also return against one of the best teams in the National Basketball Association. Still, Sabonis is a must-start for fantasy managers. His presence will likely mean less work for Jake LaRavia, who has had double-digit scoring outings in each of his last three appearances.
Domantas Sabonis Questionable To Return From Absence On Monday
Sacramento Kings center/forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is in the midst of a three-game absence which could span to four games on Monday after being listed as questionable for the matchup with the Boston Celtics. The star big man has only appeared in three games in the month of March after missing just three games during the rest of the season. Jonas Valanciunas should remain in the starting five if Sabonis can't play. Over the last three games as a starter, Valanciunas averaged 12.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. If Sabonis does take the court, however, he becomes a must-start again while Valanciunas only holds value in very deep category leagues.
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ankle) has been ruled out for at least 10 days. He sprained his right ankle during Monday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The team has announced that an MRI on the ankle showed a moderate sprain and that Sabonis will be re-evaluated in 10 days. This is an unfortunate setback for the Lithuanian big man, who had only just returned to the lineup from a hamstring injury. Jonas Valanciunas now looks set for another spell as Sacramento's starting center. He averaged 12.0 points and 12.2 rebounds during Sabonis' previous absence.

He has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of the action and is ready to rejoin the fun after sitting out the past six games. Jonas Valanciunas filled in admirably for Sabonis during his time out, but he will shift back to a bench role on Friday. Sabonis makes his comeback in a good spot, as the Suns have been battered by centers all year. They allow the fourth-most points to the position and the fifth-most rebounds.
According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) won't return to the floor for Thursday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Sabonis will be sidelined for the sixth straight game due to a left-hamstring strain. Despite carrying the unavailable tag for Thursday's contest, the big man went through a full practice on Wednesday, meaning he will return soon. Fantasy managers should be satisfied with the news of Sabonis potentially coming back earlier than initially thought since he was ruled out indefinitely just a week ago with a Grade 1 hamstring strain.
Domantas Sabonis May Return To Kings Lineup Thursday
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) went through full practice on Wednesday and has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Jonas Valanciunas has had a strong run as Sacramento's starting center lately but will have to drop back to the bench on Thursday if Sabonis is ready to return to action.
Domantas Sabonis Out Indefinitely With Grade 1 Hamstring Strain

Losing Sabonis is a significant setback for the Kings, but they have a capable replacement in Jonas Valanciunas, who is expected to take over as a starter in his absence.
