Sabonis underwent testing and evaluation Saturday for the injury.
The Kings on Monday said that Sabonis sustained an avulsion fracture of the ulnar collateral ligament (right thumb). According to the team, the big man will try to play through the injury.
Sabonis had a triple-double in the game despite the defeat. He is averaging 17.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game this season.
How the 26-year-old is able to perform while injured remains to be seen. The Kings are 17-14 on the season.
