NBA Executives Expect Sacramento Kings to Consider Trading Domantas Sabonis
The Sacramento Kings may be preparing significant roster changes as their offense continues to underperform. According to NBA insider Evan Sidery, several rival executives believe the Kings could soon explore trade options involving star big man Domantas Sabonis.
Sacramento's Early Season Struggles
After ten games, the Kings hold a 3-7 record. A notable difference this season is Sabonis's diminished role as the primary playmaker. The All-Star forward is averaging only 3.9 assists per game, his lowest in nine years, contributing to a less cohesive offense.
Sabonis's Statistical Performance
- Points per game: 15.3
- Rebounds per game: 14.0
- Assists per game: 3.9
- Steals per game: 1.1
- Field goal percentage: 47.7%
Despite solid numbers on the boards and scoring, Sabonis's three-point shooting has struggled, connecting on just 15.4% from beyond the arc early in the season.
