Sabonis is in his fourth season with the Sacramento Kings. He leads the NBA in rebounds (14.1) and 3-point percentage (47.8). He’s fourth in win shares, behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic and Karl-Anthony Towns, and ninth in player efficiency rating.
The Sacramento Kings guard picked up a steal and had a clear path to the hoop late in the second quarter of their matchup with the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. But as Monk went to throw down a two-handed reverse dunk — something he’s surely done countless times before — he didn’t quite time it right.
A win for the Warriors would push their record over .500, and after two quarters of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. They have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead the Kings 65-48.
Sabonis was dominant on both ends of the court and had an impressive final stat line, reaching his 19th consecutive double-double and entrenching himself even more as one of the best fantasy alternatives at the center position.
