Last season the Kings traded for Domantas Sabonis anticipating him to turn out to be one of many centerpieces for the workforce going ahead.

The 26-year-old Lithuanian heart has met these expectations to date. This season he’s averaging a double-double and in addition turned an NBA All-Star for the third time in his profession.

In addition, team-wise Sacramento is doing properly. The Kings are third within the Western Conference – a lot greater than anticipated.

The participant is pleased with the place he’s and wish to stick with the workforce. At the identical time he understands that not all is in his fingers. He has yet another yr left on his present contract.

“Obviously, I love it here. Everyone knows that,” Sabonis stated, per Sam Amick of The Athletic. “But like we just saw at the trade deadline with the Phoenix trade, guys who you think are going to be there for a long time get traded. So the player can say all he wants, but sometimes it’s not you in the person’s hands, you know?”

This season Sabonis is averaging 18.8 factors, 12.3 rebounds and 6.9 assists in 34.6 minutes per sport.
