The Sacramento Kings enter their game against the Denver Nuggets with a tough 3-7 start to the season. Key players face health issues, complicating their chances.
The Kings have recorded only one win without Sabonis, making their matchup against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets more difficult.
“Without Sabonis on the court, the Kings lose their most important presence in the paint as he’s the team’s leading rebounder,” reported BolaVIP.
Sabonis averages 14 rebounds and 15.3 points per game, underscoring his key role in the team’s performance.
The Nuggets are expected to have Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray back in their lineup, providing a healthier roster for the nationally televised game.
The contrast in team health could significantly impact the game’s outcome.
The game is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. at the Golden 1 Center.
The Kings’ injury setbacks deepen their season woes as they face a healthier Nuggets team, making victory an uphill challenge.
