Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis could have missed more than four weeks if he elected to have surgery on his fractured right thumb.
The big man sustained an avulsion fracture of the ulnar collateral ligament of the right thumb during Friday’s game against the Wizards. According to Jeff Stotts of InStreetClothes.com, the average time lost for in-season repair due to this type of injury is 55 days or 25.1 games.
