Clearly, NBA fans don’t really believe the injury update. Regardless, Sabonis is still listed as questionable for the next playoff game.
It should be a good matchup, but doom is looming for the Warriors right now. Especially with Draymond Green suspended for the first game in Golden State.
With that said, keep your eyes peeled for more updates regarding Domantas Sabonis. The Kings will likely declare his playing status at some point on Thursday.
