SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis and guard Zach LaVine will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on Wednesday.
Sabonis, a three-time All-Star, is averaging 15.8 points and a team-leading 11.4 rebounds in 19 games this season. He has played sparingly since tearing his meniscus in November, playing in seven of Sacramento’s final eight games in January and just one game in February.

Sabonis, 29, underwent surgery in Los Angeles and will soon begin recovery. The team said it will re-evaluate him before training camp begins.
LaVine underwent surgery to repair a tendon on his right little finger. The 30-year-old guard became a hot topic at the trade deadline and is now in his second season with the Kings. He averaged 19.2 points and 2.3 assists in 39 games.
The Kings also said backup center Dylan Caldwell had an MRI on his left ankle, which revealed a sprained ankle. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
