Kings C Domantas Sabonis (knee) to return Friday vs. Wizards

Three-time All-Star big man Domantas Sabonis is expected to return from his left knee injury to play Friday night against the visiting Washington Wizards.

Sabonis has missed 27 games due to a partially torn meniscus in the knee. The Kings listed him as questionable to play.

The 6-foot-10 Sabonis, 29, averaged 17.2 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 11 games prior to the injury.

Sabonis' name could float in trade talks before the Feb. 5 deadline due to Sacramento's underachieving season.
