Suns, Wizards, Bulls Linked to Kings’ Domantas 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.
