BREAKING NEWS: Sacramento Kings’ Star Reaches Unreal NBA Territory Untouched In Over 50 Years
One straightforward explanation for the Sacramento Kings’ success in the 2023-24 NBA season is the presence of Domantas Sabonis. While the Kings are not solely reliant on him, it’s evident that Sabonis plays a significant role in their ability to secure a playoff spot in the highly competitive Western Conference.
In their recent game against the Toronto Raptors, Sabonis once again showcased his versatility and skill, contributing greatly to the Kings’ decisive 123-89 victory.
SACRAMENTO KINGS Star Domantas Sabonis Makes History Again
“When Sabonis isn’t achieving a triple-double this season, he consistently delivers a double-double performance, marking a notable trend in the 2023-24 NBA season. This was evident in his recent game against the struggling Raptors, where he scored 13 points, grabbed 17 rebounds, and contributed 10 assists.”

Sabonis this season:
64 double-doubles
24 triple-doubles
The only player to reach those marks in a season in over 50 years.
It’s unsurprising that Sabonis is nearly averaging a triple-double this season. Currently, he’s putting up 20.0 points, snatching 13.7 rebounds, and dishing out 8.3 assists per game, with an impressive 60.9 percent shooting from the field. While he doesn’t attempt many three-pointers, his success rate stands at 41.1 percent when he does.
Harrison Barnes of the Kings commented on Sabonis’ consistent performance, praising his impact on the team after their victory against the Raptors, stating, “What Domas does for us every single night, it’s remarkable. His ability to dominate the boards, facilitate plays, score effectively, and draw defensive attention is something that cannot be overlooked.”
Sabonis and the Kings, who defeated the Raptors 123-89, have the opportunity to extend their winning streak to three games when they face the Washington Wizards this Thursday.
