Sabonis: Kings' Poor Run Bothers Me

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis assessed the team's poor start to the 2026/27 NBA season and his lack of scoring in his most recent game. In Tuesday's loss to the Orlando Magic, Sabonis played 24 minutes, took two field goal attempts and missed both. The player, who recorded two rebounds and five assists, played the eighth game of his career in which he failed to score.

Sabonis rejected talk of an injury. Saying he feels completely fine physically, the player noted that the previous game was a different matchup. Stressing that he should be better, Sabonis said he would work on his game and review the footage.

The Kings enter the weekend with one win and ten losses. Sabonis said losing makes no one happy and that watching the team lose upsets him. In the club's search for stability, it was reported that the Kings added Mason Plumlee to the roster and made an offer to free agent Gabe Vincent for the last open roster spot.

The Kings host the Portland Trail Blazers at Golden 1 Center on Friday in the Emirates NBA Cup 2026.
