Kings vs. Bulls: Injury Updates and Key Matchups
The Sacramento Kings are set to host the Chicago Bulls this Thursday in what promises to be an intense battle. Both teams are coming off back-to-back games, bringing fatigue into play alongside key injuries that could shape the outcome of this matchup.
The Kings made headlines recently with a stunning upset victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, despite missing their star big man, Domantas Sabonis. On the other hand, the Bulls suffered a tough loss against the Phoenix Suns and will be looking to bounce back. However, injuries continue to plague both squads as they gear up for this showdown.

For Sacramento, the absence of Sabonis remains a major concern. The NBA’s leading rebounder will be sidelined for at least ten days due to a right ankle sprain, a setback after just returning from another injury. Without Sabonis, the Kings have struggled, posting a 3-6 record in his absence. His playmaking and dominance on the boards will be sorely missed.
On Chicago’s side, the Bulls are dealing with multiple injuries of their own. Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu are confirmed out, removing key playmaking and defensive depth from their backcourt. Additionally, Josh Giddey is listed as questionable with an ankle issue, adding uncertainty to their lineup. However, one bright spot for the Kings is the return of Zach LaVine, who missed their last game due to personal reasons. He’s now set to face his former team for the first time, which adds an intriguing subplot to this contest.
The official injury reports for both teams paint a challenging picture. The Kings will be missing Isaiah Crawford and Mason Jones (both on G League assignments), while Jake LaRavia remains questionable due to illness. For the Bulls, along with Ball and Dosunmu, EJ Liddell and Emanuel Miller are out due to G League duties, while Patrick Williams is listed as probable with a quadriceps issue.
With tip-off set for 7 p.m. PST in Sacramento, fans can expect an intense game as both teams fight through adversity. The Kings will look to build on their momentum without Sabonis, while the Bulls hope to bounce back and overcome their injury struggles. One thing is certain—this matchup has plenty of storylines to keep fans locked in from start to finish.
