Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine will undergo a season-ending surgery on his right hand after the All-Star break, longtime NBA insider Chris Haynes reported Friday.
LaVine, a two-time All-Star, averaged 19.2 points per game and shot 47.9% from the field, including 39% from 3, this season, his second with Sacramento.

The Kings have been riddled by injuries this season. Notably, center Domantas Sabonis missed extensive time earlier in the 2025-26 campaign with a partially torn meniscus.
A three-time All-Star himself, Sabonis returned before the trade deadline. He had been the subject of trade talks this season, and so had LaVine and fellow veteran DeMar DeRozan.
The Kings, currently an NBA-worst 12-44 at the break, didn’t deal any of them, although general manager Scott Perry did send Keon Ellis and Dennis Schröder to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a three-team trade that brought them back De’Andre Hunter and also moved Dario Šarić to the Chicago Bulls.
Šarić has since been traded again and waived.
