After missing Sacramento's final three outings before the All-Star break due to right finger soreness, La Vine is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery. The veteran swingman will finish the season with averages of 19.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 31.4 minutes per contest in 39 regular-season games (37 starts). He holds a $48.97 million player option for the 2026-27 campaign. With La Vine sidelined, Nique Clifford should continue to see an expanded role, while Malik Monk (illness) and Devin Carter are also candidates for increased playing time.
With the 12-44 Kings' season circling the drain, Sabonis elected to go under the knife after attempting play through the injury this season. The star big man averaged 15.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 29.7 minutes per tilt across a career-low 19 games this year before going down. With Dylan Cardwell (ankle) now sidelined for the foreseeable future, rookie second-rounder Maxime Raynaud has a big opportunity to seize the lion's share of the center minutes going forward.
Hunter only managed to suit up for two games for Sacramento before opting to undergo a season-ending procedure on his eye, but this shouldn't be something that impacts his status for next year's training camp. Hunter will end his 2025-26 campaign with averages of 13.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 triples per game.
This will be Monk's third straight missed game, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's tilt with the Spurs. Killian Hayes and Nique Clifford will continue to pick up the slack in Monk's absence.
Re-evaluated doesn't mean "will return," and with the Kings sitting on the worst record in the Western Conference, there's not much incentive for Murray to rush back to the court. Precious Achiuwa has been the primary beneficiary in Murray's absence.
Carter will join Russell Westbrook (foot) and Malik Monk (ankle) on the inactive list for Sunday's game, leaving Killian Hayes as the only available point guard on the roster. Carter's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Spurs.
Out
R. Westbrook
Westbrook will hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he should return for Tuesday's matchup with the Spurs. Killian Hayes should get all the run he can handle as the last true point guard standing on the Kings' roster for Sunday's game.
Out
D. Eubanks
Eubanks will end up sitting for both games of the Kings' back-to-back weekend set due to a sore left thumb, and he'll look to progress enough in his recovery to return for Tuesday's game against the Spurs. Dylan Cardwell will serve as the Kings' top backup center behind starter Maxime Raynaud in Eubanks' absence.
Out
I. Stevens
Stevens missed the G League Kings' last two games due to right thigh soreness but is off the injury report for the parent club's game Thursday. The two-way player hasn't seen the court at the NBA level since Feb. 11 and isn't guaranteed to do so Thursday.
