The Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs meet Sunday afternoon at Frost Bank Center with both teams managing significant injury questions that could influence rotations and matchups.

Sacramento enters at 3–10 and lists Domantas Sabonis as questionable with a left ribcage contusion. His status is central to their interior structure because he averages 17.2 points and 12.2 rebounds while functioning as the Kings’ primary hub in half-court sets.

Precious Achiuwa is also questionable due to illness. His 4.7 rebounds per game in six appearances give Sacramento another physical option in the frontcourt when available.

Keegan Murray remains out as he continues recovery from a left thumb UCL injury. His absence removes a two-way forward who played more than 33 minutes per game before being sidelined.

Dylan Cardwell, Daeqwon Plowden and Isaiah Stevens remain on two-way assignments, reducing depth options for a group already leaning heavily on its core rotation.

Zach LaVine leads Sacramento with 24.0 points per game, while DeMar DeRozan adds 18.2. Russell Westbrook contributes 14.4 points and 6.4 assists, shaping the Kings’ transition pace and ball movement even as the team tries to stop a five-game slide.

San Antonio enters at 8–4 and lists Victor Wembanyama as questionable with left calf tightness. His availability is one of the game’s key variables because he averages 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds and 3.6 blocks while anchoring the Spurs’ defensive identity.

Dylan Harper remains out with a left calf strain. His absence removes a perimeter creator who averaged 14.0 points and 3.8 assists across six games.

David Jones Garcia and Riley Minix are unavailable on G League assignments as San Antonio continues to rely on its established rotation.

De’Aaron Fox provides 20.5 points and 5.8 assists in four games. His scoring and decision-making have paired effectively with Stephon Castle, who enters averaging 18.4 points and 7.8 assists.

Harrison Barnes, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson round out a supporting group that gives San Antonio multiple perimeter scoring options around Wembanyama’s size and rim protection.

San Antonio has lost two straight but remains strong at home, winning five of seven at Frost Bank Center. Sacramento is 1–5 on the road and has struggled defensively during November, allowing 120 points or more in four of its last five contests.

Tipoff is scheduled for 4:00 PM ET in San Antonio.
