Sabonis Out 4-5 Weeks with Knee Injury; Kings Open to Trade Offers

Kings star Domantas Sabonis (left knee) is sidelined for an additional 4-5 weeks due to a partial meniscus tear sustained mid-November, extending his absence into the new year with re-evaluation expected then. The Sacramento Kings, currently 6-21 (3-10 without him), are reportedly "open for business" regarding Sabonis, with trade chatter intensifying. His market value is affected by this injury and prior issues. Sabonis averages 17.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 11 games (51% FG, 20% 3P). His contract is $42.3M this season and $94M over the next two.
