The Sacramento Kings will be without star forward Domantas Sabonis for at least the next 10 days with a right ankle sprain, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
The Kings, who are 34-33 and in ninth-place in the Western Conference, are 3-6 this season without Sabonis. He had just returned to the lineup a week ago after missing six straight games.
The injury to Sabonis comes at a brutal time for Sacramento, as the franchise is fighting for its playoff life. With 15 games remaining, the Kings are only three games ahead of the 11-seed Phoenix Suns, and just two games clear of the 10-seed Dallas Mavericks for the final play-in spot in the West.
Sabonis is averaging 19.2 points and a league-leading 13.9 rebounds per game this season for the Kings.
