The Sacramento Kings finally ended their playoff drought last season, which spanned 16 seasons, making it the longest in the history of the NBA.
However, there were many who believed that the Kings simply had a fluke season.
Keeping that in mind, the Kings are seemingly playing with a chip on their shoulders to prove their critics wrong this season.
With that said, the Kings are playing an amazing brand of basketball in the 2023-24 NBA season, and Domantas Sabonis has contributed a lot to that success.
Speaking of Sabonis, he finished the Kings’ recent game against the Washington Wizards with a triple-double, and dedicated that performance to his father on his birthday, via the Kings’ official Twitter handle.
“It’s my dad’s birthday… So hopefully a win and a triple-double counts,” Sabonis said.
