Kings coach Mike Brown was already having trouble finding a reliable backup for Domantas Sabonis at the center position, but now he could have a bigger problem.
Brown has experimented with Richaun Holmes, Chimezie Metu, Alex Len and Neemias Queta as backup centers. No one has been able to solidify himself in that role, but now Brown may need someone to start in place of Sabonis, who was having a December to remember before he was injured in Friday’s 125-111 loss to the Washington Wizards.
The Kings have yet to make a formal announcement, but league sources told The Sacramento Bee X-rays confirmed the two-time All-Star suffered an injury to his right hand. Sources said Sabonis would undergo further testing while the team evaluated medical opinions and treatment options over the holiday weekend.
