CBS News Sacramento Sports Live

SACRAMENTO - Damontas Sabonis practiced with the team Wednesday and will likely play Thursday, Kings Coach Mike Brown said.

This was Sabonis' first appearance at practice since the center was stomped on by Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green during Game 2 of the NBA Playoffs. 

He suffered a bruised sternum during the incident, and as a result, underwent a series of X-rays.

As a result of the stomping incident, Draymond Green was handed a one-game suspension.

De'Aaron Fox scored 24 points and the Sacramento Kings took a 2-0 series lead over the defending champion Golden State Warriors with a 114-106 win at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Monday night.
