King missed the entire 2022 season with a ruptured ACL, with many fearing the star had suffered the injury again.
In a sigh of relief for coach Damien Hardwick, scans confirmed King's ligament was still intact with the bone slightly bruised.
After undergoing a knee reconstruction in 2022, King has returned to the field in strong form.
King is a joint leader in the Coleman Medal race with 38 goals this season, matched with Carlton's Charlie Curnow.
The 23-year-old will return to training this week in hopes of being available for selection when the Suns meet Fremantle next Sunday.
Gold Coast, who are 7-6, sits just outside the top eight in their bye-round.
