Domantas Sabonis Signs Extension With Kings

The Sacramento Kings value Domantas Sabonis heavily and it was seen Saturday when they used a huge chunk of their cap space to lock him up.

They value him as a key member of Sacramento, one of the main contributors to them breaking the 17-year playoff drought, which is why they wanted to secure him long-term.

Both Sabonis and Sacramento have agreed to renegotiating and extending his contract. The extension will allow a brand new four years, $195 million to be added to his existing deal.

His new contract is set at five years, worth $217 million. He was on an expiring contract heading into the summer, the team have now taken care of him.

He averaged 19.1 points, 12.3 rebounds (league leader), and 7.3 assists per game last season.

Domantas Sabonis Sets NBA Record With Double-Double

Sacramento defended their home court against the Philadelphia 76ers with the help of Domantas Sabonis and his impressive stat line. Not only did he put up a double-double, but he also had a triple-double, that created history for the Kings’ big man.

Since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77, Domantas Sabonis is the only player in history to have 54 consecutive double-doubles—an incredible feat considering how underrated he is.

Sabonis officially made history in Monday’s third quarter with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Even more impressively, the 27-year-old leads the league in double-doubles, triple-doubles, and rebounds per game this season.

Sacramento’s center averages 19.8 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in 71 games. He has the opportunity to be up there with Wilt Chamberlain (1967-68) as the only player to average 20/13/8 for an entire season.
