It’s Taytum’s left ankle. He landed on Sabonis after the jumper.
This is probably a flagrant on Domas. – 11:38 PM

Not only is Domantas Sabonis coming back really early by “moderate ankle sprain” standards, he’s also coming back before the initial announced timeline the Kings put out.
I don’t need to ask to know Sabonis is the driving force behind it. He’s a tough competitor. But this makes – 6:08 PM

#kings were 19-19 when they beat the #Celtics in January. They’re somehow 35-35 after trading Fox, Sabonis injuries, LaVine slow start. Not much has changed. – 2:41 PM

#Kings tonight vs. #Celtics: Sabonis (ankle), Monk (illness) and Carter (illness) questionable.
C’s report not out until later, but can assume Horford will be out and Tatum’s questionable status yesterday might’ve been setting up rest today.
Brown has missed 3 of 4 with knee. – 12:31 PM
