Kings vs. Warriors: Injury-Plagued Showdown

The Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors are set to clash on January 9, 2026, at Chase Center. This highly anticipated matchup, usually a fast-paced, star-driven rivalry, will have a different tone due to significant injuries affecting both teams. The Kings, struggling with an 8-29 record and currently on a six-game losing streak, are particularly hard-hit.

Sacramento will be without key players Domantas Sabonis, recovering from a knee injury, and Keegan Murray, sidelined with an ankle sprain. These absences severely impact their frontcourt scoring and rebounding. Golden State, while healthier overall, is also missing rotation players like Seth Curry, who is dealing with sciatic nerve irritation. However, Gary Payton II is listed as probable, potentially bolstering their defense.

Tip-off is scheduled for 10:00 PM ET, with broadcast coverage on NBA TV and local options available. Golden State, holding a 20-18 record, enters the game off a recent win, looking to leverage their home-court advantage against a depleted Kings squad that must compensate for their lack of size by scoring from the perimeter.
