Sacramento Kings star center Domantas Sabonis suffered a grade 1 left hamstring strain in Saturday’s win over the Houston Rockets and will be out indefinitely, the team announced Sunday.
An update will be provided in one week, according to the team.
Sabonis was running down the court about a minute into Saturday’s game when he pulled up and grabbed his left hamstring. He left and did not return.
Sabonis entered Saturday’s matchup averaging 19.9 points, 14.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists.
In the wake of the former All-Star’s injury, the Kings are signing center Skal Labissiere from their Stockton NBA G League affiliate to a 10-day contract, his agent Daniel Hazan of Hazan Sports told ESPN’s Shams Charania.
This is Labissiere’s second stint with the Kings after Sacramento selected him with the 28th pick in the 2016 NBA draft. Labissiere has averaged 15.8 points and 7.5 rebounds in the G League.
The Kings will be without Sabonis while they battle to avoid the Western Conference’s play-in tournament. Sacramento entered Monday night half a game behind the LA Clippers for the No. 6 seed.
