Domantas Sabonis: “Our record isn’t what we think it can be. But we know we’ve dropped a lot of games where we’ve had full control. Just in this last week, the Phoenix and the Milwaukee (losses), those would have been two wins where we would have been up in fourth or fifth (place) or whatever it is, you know? It’s tough, because we know we are better. We’ve shown it. We just sometimes go through these mental lapses in games, which are very, very controllable. We know that. There’s other games where we’ve controlled it and ended up winning the game. So we’ve just got to stay mentally strong. We need to win games to get the best seed as we can for the playoffs, but I feel like, as the year goes on, we’re learning more and more, you know? We’re seeing film, seeing what we do wrong.”

On Kings Central with Morgan Ragan, Domantas Sabonis says he hopes to stay in Sacramento for the rest of his career … and little Tiger Sabonis can say “triple-double” now. – 10:30 PM

Putting together this Q&A with Domantas Sabonis (for tomorrow pub), and struck by these stats that deserve more spotlight.
19.9 pts, NBA-best 12.7 boards, team-high eight assists for Kings (5th in the West). Better numbers than last season (when he was 7th in MVP voting). – 12:49 PM

More on this storyline
His perspective was no doubt shaped by his legendary Lithuanian father, Arvydas, whose best playing days came overseas before he finally joined the Portland Trail Blazers as a 30-year-old. His father’s journey was far different — and remarkable, really — with his ill-fated NBA delay caused by everything from the Soviet Union’s Iron Curtain that blocked him from coming to America to injuries that forever changed the arc of his career. His story remains one of the great “What-ifs?” in NBA lore. All these decades later, Domantas has a deep appreciation for his basketball life that was formed out of his family history. “That desperation to stay over here (in the NBA vs. playing in Europe) because I love it, and try to get better, I don’t think that’s gonna change,” Sabonis said. “My family and friends always laugh at me, like, ‘Oh, you’re always gonna want more, or to keep going.’ They always know. There’s no calm time with me.” -via The Athletic / January 29, 2024
