Kings center Drew Eubanks has been diagnosed with a torn UCL in his left thumb and will undergo surgery to repair it, the team announced today, per Locked On Kings’ James Ham (Twitter link).
Eubanks has appeared in 42 games for Sacramento this season, including 11 starts. He is averaging 5.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks in 13.1 minutes per contest.
Eubanks sustained the injury in Wednesday’s loss to the Hornets, according to the team press release. He played just under 15 minutes in that game, contributing four points, six rebounds, and two assists.
The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, March 18. While the Kings have yet to provide a formal timeline for his recovery, it seems unlikely that Eubanks will play again in 2025/26, with just four weeks left in the regular season. For what it’s worth, Nets center Day’Ron Sharpe received a similar diagnosis this week and was ruled out for the season.
