Sabonis available to play in Kings-Nuggets rematch

Domantas Sabonis is available to play for the Kings on the second night of a back-to-back against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night at Golden 1 Center.

Sabonis sustained a right thumb avulsion fracture last Friday against the Washington Wizards and missed the Kings' loss to the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Without Sabonis, Sacramento struggled to replace his production and turned to centers Alex Len and Richaun Holmes, who combined to score 10 points and record 11 rebounds in the loss to Denver. The Kings also experimented with a small-ball lineup mid-game that featured forward Trey Lyles in the first unit. 

In 31 games this season, Sabonis is averaging 17.9 points per game, 12.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists on 61.2 percent shooting from the field and 38.9 percent from 3-point range. 

Sabonis will return to the floor after missing just one game and will look to help the Kings secure a win in the second game of a back-to-back against the top-seeded Nuggets.
