With the Golden State Warriors missing Draymond Green due to a suspension for Game 3, the Sacramento Kings could also potentially be without an All-Star in the frontcourt on Thursday evening in San Francisco.
On Tuesday, Domantas Sabonis was listed on the injury report with a sternum contusion. The Kings center is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Game 3 at Chase Center.

After the pair of battling bigs were tangled up while in transition during Game 2 in Sacramento, Sabonis appeared to grab Green’s causing the former Defensive Player of the Year to step on his chest area. Following a review, Green was ejected and Sabonis was assessed a technical foul.
With Green ejected, the Kings went on to secure a 2-0 lead in the series after a win in Game 2.
After the incident on Monday night, Sabonis underwent X-Rays in his ribs/lungs area. The X-rays later came back negative, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
