Domantas Sabonis recently made history when he made the longest consecutive streak of double-doubles in the NBA. The Sacramento Kings’ star isn’t done, though, as he has now reached a level only Wilt Chamberlain has done in league history.
Domantas Sabonis has been everything the Sacramento Kings had hoped for at the center position due to his constant string of double-doubles. Although he wasn’t named an All-Star this season for some reason, Sabonis has arguably been the best big man in the league due to the impact he brings as a rebounder.
The Sacramento Kings are doing everything they can to secure the final automatic playoff berth, but they face a tough challenge after Malik Monk was diagnosed to miss more than a month of game time due to an MCL sprain.
Harrison Barnes and Keegan Murray combined for 49 points, DeAaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis registered double-doubles and the Sacramento Kings broke a third-quarter tie with a 15-0 flurry that produced a run-away, 127-106 victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night.
He is among the favorites for Sixth Man of the Year honors, averaging career highs of 15.6 points and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 35.1 percent from beyond the arc.
The Sacramento Kings have had a pretty rough past 24 hours. Not only did they suffer a crushing 107-103 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, but they also lost Kevin Huerter to a season-ending shoulder injury, and saw Malik Monk suffer a sprained ankle in their loss to the Mavs.
The Sacramento Kings' loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night was a major hit to their chances of avoiding a play-in game this postseason. But more than that, Sacramento may have also lost the front-runner for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award, Malik Monk.
The Kings now have the No. 8 seed and are two games from avoiding a play-in game this postseason after the 107-103 loss to Luka Doncic and company. And Doncic had something to say about that.
The Sacramento Kings will have to try to hold position in the Western Conference without one of their more integral role players.
It’s probably safe to say that growing up, most kids with serious NBA aspirations have dreams of playing for their hometown team. But how often does that actually happen?
In recent days, Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown has pushed for his center, Domantas Sabonis, to be involved in the MVP race for the 2023-24 NBA regular season.
Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis is producing at a level that we have never seen previously in the NBA. He has recorded a double-double in 52 consecutive games, which is closing in on the league’s record.
Despite winning 48 games last season and bolstering the highest offensive rating in NBA history, the Sacramento Kings were held back by their weak defense, leading to a disappointing first-round exit.
