None. Welcome back, big fella!! Glad you could warm up tonight so you can really use up your energy to rip the Lakers a new one, come Sunday.

Loved having him back out there. His release is faster on his shot but it’s flat. Hopefully he can find the three again

I think he’ll get it together. He plays through so much pain, and i think that certainly doesn’t help. I hope he rests up

Just night and day difference with him out there, even if he did look a little hobbled from the hamstring first game back.

Looking forward to him and LaVine continuing their 2 man game. Think they can be truly special offensively

Sabonis "will be re-evaluated in approximately 4-5 weeks, based on his clinical progress."

He is a long ways from a return to the court. Many things may change for the Kings by that time.

Does the guy think we don't know he's on the Warriors payroll?

https://x.com/i/grok/share/b9fbd0d9bb0a442b82a277eaf29583d7 so Sabonis will be questionable for Fridays game?

 

[Spike]

Hard to believe that Sabonis won't make a full recovery, given the nature of the injury and the expertise of a professional medical staff.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I love watching Sabonis so I’m excited for his return. I do wonder how they divide up the minutes at center. Cardwell has some real momentum right now, he needs to keep getting 15 a game to see where this goes

 

[coolhandluke]

I hope they are not rushing him. I want a fully recovered Sabonis. His galloping after a rebound and quarterbacking is a sight to see. Don't want a hobbled guy out there trying to tough it out. Not worth it bro.

 

[dude12]

They going to showcase him so teams can see him healthy and then he’s going to be traded. Just me speculating but it’s the Kings best move to bring in some younger talent for the rebuild/retool. His replacements are in place and I’m not talking about Eubanks. But make sure it’s a worthy deal for us

Yeah, this is how I see it too. Domas is probably our most valuable trade chip, and that value is just going to go up if he can get out there and play well. It's a shame we don't have Mike Brown around anymore to really pump his numbers up haha

 

[sono]

The vibe is different, teams seem to be prioritizing a solid deep roster rather than chasing one super/star with a hefty price tag. They are definitely more wary of the financial aprons nowadays.

Wondering who's a better fit next to Domas, Precious or Max?

Probably cardwell

 

[Sam0ah]

Probably cardwell

If they play Cardwell next to Domas the teams rebounding numbers will be really good. The spacing might not be there unless Domas can hit threes again.

Neither precious or Max are good 3 point shooters.

Then again, someone screwed up Sabonis' three-point shot so badly over the summer, he was hitting only 4 of 20, or 20%, in 11 games.

They screwed it up bad it’s so flat

Hopefully this was just shooting variance, because the sample size is small. But the misses were just so bad, and in preseason as well. Could just be Domas just needs more time and reps with his new form.

We can only hope. Did his knee injury keep him from practice shooting?

I was wondering the same thing. I don’t think I’ve read anything reported, but I think in most cases with a partially torn meniscus you can still shoot.

I think he just had no business playing the 11 games he did play. Playing through those injuries likely caused the bigger one

Teams need to get better at dealing their guys "no". The plauer will always want to play. Its the franchises job to look out for their long term health

 

[SacTownKid]

Uh oh, the picks about to suffer some.

Who knows. If this is a showcase we might only get the Domas experience for a few more games. And if he's rusty/playing hurt he might not even help us - especially if he's taking Cardwell's minutes!
