Domantas Sabonis on becoming the longest-tenured King, hopes for ’25-26

Following a long, busy–and then very quiet–offseason, Sacramento Kings basketball is back.

The Beam Team tips off training camp this week as they prepare for October 8th’s preseason opener against the Toronto Raptors at Golden 1 Center.

Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis sat down with our very own Carmichael Dave and Jason Ross to discuss his thoughts on the Kings’ offseason moves, explain how he will be even more aggressive from beyond the perimeter this season, and much more.

Plus, Sabonis discusses what it means to become the longest-tenured member of the team as he enters his fifth season in Sacramento.
