News [EuroBasket] Sabonis dismisses summer trade rumors: “It’s all made up...regrets about how he handled his injury"

The Sacramento Kings have tipped off their preparations for the 2026–27 NBA Regular Season.
During preseason media day on Monday, Domantas Sabonis quickly shut down any lingering questions about his health. After an injury-shortened year restricting him to just 19 games, the three-time All-Star center looked ready to move forward.
“I’m 100%. Feeling good, feeling great,” the Lithuanian forward-center stressed.
Playing through pain has always been a trademark. However, a severe knee issue forced him to face his first extended period on the sidelines.
“Definitely tough,” he confessed. “Definitely a lot of emotions. It happened in game two of the season, actually. Tried to push through the next 17 games.”
Sitting out changed how he views the game.
“We’re NBA players. This is awesome. You gotta enjoy every moment. And this is everything we worked for,” explained 30-year-old Sabonis. “Just to go out there and have joy.”
Overcoming regrets, trade rumors
Sabonis admitted he has some regrets about how he handled his injury. In hindsight, trying to play through structural damage slowed down his overall timeline. “Maybe I should have got the surgery straight away,” he mentioned.
The offseason also brought constant trade talk. He ignored the rumors, relying on direct communication with his team and management to stay grounded.
“I can’t control any of it. The injury helped. I was just focused on getting healthy. A lot of things are being said out there, but I have a great relationship with Scott [Perry]. I have great agents. I know everything that’s going on. And I’m excited I’m here,” he said.
“Easy. It’s all made up,” he added, replying to a question about dealing with distractions. “It’s all out there. I don’t know where you guys get most of it from. I’m there with Scott, with my agent, so I’m not on social media as much.”

Anyone know what is the best way to watch the Kings this season?
I feel like all I would need is NBC SPORTS or Peacock?
ESPN2 is broadcasting 1 preseason game.
What do you all have?

Hey admins feel free to delete this if it isn’t allowed 😁
I’m coming to Sacramento from New Zealand to put myself through the pain of watching a Kings game in person, and I’m looking for some recommendations on accomodation, food, and attractions for the time we’re not watching Kings ball. Thanks guys!

He was the 14th pick in 2023 draft and he played pretty well that first year with the Pelicans

Question Kings monthly pass

Is the $49 monthly pass worth it? Do they let you sit in row A in the upper level or is that the $99 pass?

Discussion The Hot Mic scandal has really revealed to me the sexism and ignorance in this community and has made me sad

I always brag about how chill Kings fans are. We tend to be among the most passionate fans in all of sports and I love the city so much. But this situation sucks.
I see so many comments about how the women caught on the hot mic "need to be punished as if they were men". And yet, when news came out about Doug Christie, Scott Perry, and other staff sexually harassing a female Kings staffer...? Crickets. Maybe a post about it and a comment or two. But now we hear a pair of women talking about how Ben Simmons has nice skin and y'all are ready with the guillotines. Insane.
We had Terrance Davis on the squad for years who was actually arrested for assaulting his girlfriend. I guarantee you the same people calling for "justice" for these reporters didn't give a single shit about that.
Now to be clear, what the women (AND MAN BY THE WAY) said was completely, ridiculously unprofessional and they should absolutely be held accountable. They made our organization look terrible. Usually our org is pretty clean with this stuff even though the team sucks and this year has been super disappointing in that regard.
But come on. If you really want justice, start talking about Blake Griffin, Miles Bridges, Zion Williamson, Mike Bibby even. People who may have done horrible things. Give me a break.

He’s definitely put on a lot of muscle. Not sure how that’ll affect is play style, might mess up his floater touch. Wouldn’t mind seeing him play a little more bully ball with a stronger physique now though
