Sabonis Out Another 4-5 Weeks with Meniscus Tear; Trade Impact

Domantas Sabonis will miss another 4-5 weeks as he continues rehabilitation for a partial meniscus tear in his left knee. The Kings announced he will be re-evaluated in late January, pushing back his return timeline after an initial 3-4 week projection a month ago. Sabonis has already missed 13 games since November 16. This extended absence complicates potential trade discussions, as teams will likely want to see him healthy before finalizing a deal. He averaged 17.2 points and 12.3 rebounds in 11 games this season.
