Domantas Sabonis may be questioning his long-term future with the Sacramento Kings, as the team has been mostly underwhelming this 2024-25 season.
According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, Sabonis plans to “seek clarity” on the team’s long-term plans, especially after watching Mike Brown and De’Aaron Fox, his former coach and co-star, depart from the franchise earlier this season.
“League sources said Sabonis, who has three more seasons and a combined $140.3 million left on his current deal, is expected to seek clarity about the organization’s plan in the offseason. Just as Fox wanted to know whose voice mattered most on key decisions, and who the team’s owner might be trusting the most as counsel, Sabonis is known to have similar questions,” Amick wrote in his column.
“What is the vision here?” one league source close to a core Sacramento Kings player said. “It feels like it could be headed toward chaos.”

After a 13-18 start to the season, the Sacramento Kings decided to part ways with head coach Mike Brown. Eventually, the team also traded De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs, which helped them land Zach LaVine.
The Sacramento Kings are the ninth seed in the Western Conference with a 33-29 record. They have won five of their last six games.
Domantas Sabonis has four years and $178 million left on his $217 million contract extension he signed in 2023. The three-time NBA All-Star averages 19.5 points, 14.1 rebounds, and 6.2 assists on 59.6 percent shooting from the field across 56 starts this year.
