But, after the Kings stormed out to a 15-point lead, star center Domantas Sabonis went down with an ankle injury that sent him to the locker room. After getting checked out, the Kings confirmed that Sabonis would not be returning to Monday's game.

The Sacramento Kings will continue their road to ensuring themselves a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. An otherwise difficult matchup is tilting slightly more towards the Kings after the most recent news coming out of Memphis.

Sabonis went down after stepping on Grizzlies rookie Jaylen Wells’ foot on a driving layup attempt with 11:09 to play in the third quarter. Sabonis immediately motioned to the bench for attention from the team’s medical staff while writhing in pain under the basket.
