In his second season with the Kings, he averaged 19.2 points and 2.3 assists in 39 games. The 30-year-old guard was a hot topic at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Sabonis, a three-time All-Star, averaged 15.8 points and a team-leading 11.4 rebounds in 19 games this season. He was used sparingly since suffering a meniscus tear in November, playing in seven of Sacramento\u2019s final eight games in January and appearing in only one game in February.<\/p>\n<p>Sabonis, 29, had surgery in Los Angeles and will begin rehabilitation soon. The team said he will be re-evaluated prior to the start of training camp.<\/p>\n<p>The Kings also said backup center Dylan Caldwell had an MRI on his left ankle that revealed an ankle sprain. He will be reevaluated in four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle Sports staff made minor additions to this post.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/seattle-sports-pit\/seattle-sonics-nba-expansion-rumors-2-insiders\/1839288\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Two big NBA insiders turn up heat on Sonics expansion rumors<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/newsletters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1752802210_317_SeattleSportsEmail-830x100-1.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"mobile-signup\"\/>\t&#13;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1752802210_317_SeattleSportsEmail-830x100-1.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"desktop-signup\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SACRAMENTO, Calif.
