Yahoo Sports: Covering Your Game on and off the Field

One of Domantas Sabonis' greatest strengths is his unwavering consistency. Game after game, he brings a high level of effort, intelligence, and productivity to the court. As a key player for the Sacramento team, Sabonis consistently performs at an All-Star caliber, shouldering a significant workload with skill and tenacity.

Now the Kings will be without him for a week, the team announced. Sacramento released this statement Sunday:

"Sacramento Kings forward-center Domantas Sabonis underwent an MRI today. The MRI confirmed that Sabonis suffered a grade 1 left hamstring strain after exiting the game during the first quarter against the Houston Rockets on Saturday, March 1. Sabonis will be listed as out and an update will be provided in (1) week."

This appeared to be a non-contact injury Sabonis sustained while running down the court.

Sabonis has been an anchor for the Kings this season, averaging 19.9 points, 14.4 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. The Suns have a +4.1 net rating when he is on the court this season and a -4.1 rating when he is off. The 31-28 Kings sit ninth in the West and appear headed to the play-in.

To provide depth while Sabonis is out, the Kings signed center Skal Labissier to a 10-day contract. Labissier had been playing with the Kings' Stockton NBA G League affiliate.
