The Kings thought All-Star center Domantas Sabonis had avoided injury following his encounter with Draymond Green in Monday’s playoff win over the Golden State Warriors, but further testing showed that was not the case.
The team released a medical update late Tuesday night revealing that Sabonis suffered a bruised sternum in the fourth quarter of a 114-106 victory over the Warriors in Game 2 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. Sabonis will be listed as questionable for Game 3 on Thursday at Chase Center in San Francisco.
That announcement came about an hour after the NBA announced Green had been suspended one game without pay for stomping on Sabonis in the fourth quarter of Game 2. Green will serve his suspension Thursday when the Warriors play host to the Kings in Game 3 of their best-of-seven first-round playoff series.
