Suns, Wizards, Bulls Linked to KingsDomantas Sabonis as Trade Interest Resurfaces

A meniscus tear with a hefty contract complicates a near-term move.

Overview

  • The Athletic’s Sam Amick reports Phoenix, Washington and Chicago have shown interest in the Sacramento big man.
  • Sabonis is described as prepared to stay with the Kings for the foreseeable future, tempering expectations of an imminent deal.
  • He has been out since Nov. 19 with a partial tear of his left meniscus, with a re-evaluation expected within the next week.
  • His contract runs through 2027-28 with roughly $94 million owed over the next two seasons, a dynamic that could suppress offers.
  • The Suns are cited as an interested suitor despite limited draft capital, while Sabonis is averaging 17.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists for a 6-19 Kings team.
