Sabonis underwent season-ending knee surgery Wednesday to repair a torn left meniscus, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. With the 12-44 Kings' season circling the drain, Sabonis elected to go under the knife after attempting play through the injury this season. The star big man averaged 15.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 29.7 minutes per tilt across a career-low 19 games this year before going down. With Dylan Cardwell (ankle) now sidelined for the foreseeable future, rookie second-rounder Maxime Raynaud has a big opportunity to seize the lion's share of the center minutes going forward.

Domantas Sabonis: Breaking News
Sidelined for Wednesday
Sabonis (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz. Sabonis will miss his fourth straight matchup due to a back injury. After being ruled out for Wednesday, the big man will have just over another week to recover ahead of the Kings' next game against the Magic on Feb. 19.
Won't play Monday
Sabonis (back) is out for Monday against the Pelicans. Sabonis will be sidelined for a third straight game, but he continues to be listed as day-to-day.
