Pacers' Domantas Sabonis treated for back issue, still playing Monday
Indiana Pacers power forward Domantas Sabonis received treatment for his back after being in noticeable pain during Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Sabonis recently missed six games with a back injury but head coach Nate Bjorkgren said the big man will play on Monday. "There was concern...He got treated. He's tough. He wants to be out there. He's good to go." Sabonis recorded his eighth triple-double of the season on Saturday despite the back pain and he's scored 30 points in each of the last two games.
Sabonis has scored at least 67 FanDuel points in three-of-five games since returning from injury, and he has a 46.6-point floor in that span. According to NBA.com, the Cavaliers have been the worst defensive team in the league over their last 15 games. Sabonis has the third-highest salary ($10,700) and the fourth-highest projection (49.7) on Monday's six-game slate.
