Domantas Sabonis (Lithuanian pronunciation:[ˈsaːboːnʲɪs]; born May 3, 1996) is a Lithuanian-American[1][2] professional basketball player for the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Lithuanian national team.[3] Son of the Hall of Fame player Arvydas Sabonis, Sabonis is an All-NBA Team member and three-time NBA All-Star.[3]
Sabonis started his career in Spain with Unicaja Málaga. He then moved to the United States and played college basketball for the Gonzaga Bulldogs. After being drafted 11th overall in the 2016 NBA draft by the Orlando Magic, Sabonis was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder on draft night, spending his rookie season with the team before being traded to the Indiana Pacers in 2017. He played five seasons for the Pacers and was named an All-Star twice during his tenure. In 2022, Sabonis was traded to the Sacramento Kings for rising star Tyrese Haliburton, in a move considered shocking to many.[4] Named to his first All-NBA team and third All-Star selection in 2023, he led the Kings alongside De'Aaron Fox to the third seed and helped them break their NBA record 17-year playoff drought.[5]

Sabonis, it should be noted, was born in Portland while his father, Arvydas Sabonis, was playing for the Trail Blazers. But Domantas has dual citizenship and considers Kaunas, Lithuania, home.
