Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis spoke to the media Tuesday about the team’s 2-0 start to the preseason, reflected on his impressive dunk against Portland and the crowd’s intensity at the Golden 1 Center.

The Sacramento Kings enter the 2022-23 season hoping to break a 16-year playoff drought. After hiring Mike Brown as the team’s new coach, the Kings drafted Keegan Murray with the number four overall pick. They continued to make moves over the summer, trading for Kevin Huerter and signing multiple free agents, including guard Malik Monk.
