Jason Anderson: The Sacramento Kings have ruled Domantas Sabonis out for tonight's game against the Toronto Raptors due to left knee injury management. Precious Achiuwa (right ankle soreness) is questionable.
Mike Brown called out Karl-Anthony Towns for a lazy play. With less than two minutes remaining in the second quarter of the Knicks’ 112-101 loss to the Kings on Wednesday night, Towns drove and fell after he was stripped in the paint by Precious Achiuwa. The Knicks center stayed on the ground instead of running back on defense, which allowed Achiuwa to grab an uncontested offensive rebound around midcourt. The sequence ended with Sacramento’s Russell Westbrook nailing a wide open corner 3-pointer to give the Kings a 17-point lead. “He drove. Something happened where he fell down. He drove, he fell down,” Brown said. “When you fall down, you got to get up and got to sprint down the floor. And even when you’re the last guy down the floor, you got to get down there just in case there’s a long rebound. But there was no urgency. That wasn’t the only play. There were a handful of plays that we did that. But there was no sense of urgency on that particular play to get back. And it was a five-point swing.

Precious Achiuwa’s first tenure with the Miami Heat was short, but the forward/center’s second tenure with the Heat was even shorter. Instead of keeping Achiuwa on the roster for the start of the regular season, a league source told the Miami Herald that the Heat informed the 26-year-old Achiuwa following Friday’s preseason finale that it is waiving him before his contract starts to become guaranteed on opening night.
