Re: Domantas Sabonis: An avulsion fracture means the UCL of his thumb tore away a piece of bone, not that the ligament is fractured. Multiple players, including Chris Paul & Avery Bradley, have sustained the injury. Bradley opted to play through the injury & did not miss time. – 7:30 PM

More on this storyline
Kings guard Kevin Huerter answered a similar question. “Domas is a huge part of what we do,” Huerter said. “There’s no secret to that. Over the past couple weeks, the triple-doubles and the 20-rebound games, it’s hard to replace that kind of production. “… There’s not many guys in the league who can replicate Domas’ style, so I think it will change up a little bit, but the offense we have in place, it’s not like we came in here today and put in new plays or started changing up things we’re going to do differently. We’ve got to plug guys in, obviously, where guys might be out and just try to get used to playing with each other in new lineups.” -via Sacramento Bee / December 26, 2022
James Ham: According to a league source, surgery is not currently part of the plan when it comes to Domantas Sabonis. He is questionable tomorrow, but the hope is that he will return to action in the coming days. He will be reassessed depending on effectiveness and pain levels. -via Twitter @James_HamNBA / December 26, 2022
