March 19: Eubanks underwent successful surgery on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season, per the Kings (Twitter link via Ham). The 29-year-old big man, who will be a free agent this summer, is expected to make a full recovery.
March 15: 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.
He’s avg 13 mins….. Kings could now lose by four more pts a game. Bon r would be thrilled. If only he didn’t have Kings Anhedonia. Apparently very contagious after years of rooting for Kings.
Get well Drew ….. you too bon r.
Might be the only player on the team I have a history of praising. Having fun in fantasy land again huh?
I’m having loads of fun. Watching the next generation NCAAs.
