Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis may consider requesting a trade if the franchise fails to establish a clear sense of direction this offseason, according to Brett Siegal.

“Many around the league are preparing for the possibility of the Kings becoming big sellers ahead of the 2026 NBA trade deadline next February, which would likely result in Sabonis requesting a trade should a clear direction not present itself,” Siegal reported.

Sabonis, a three-time All-Star, has been a key piece for the Kings, helping lead them to a playoff berth in 2023. However, with Sacramento struggling to take the next step as a true contender in the Western Conference, speculation is growing over the team’s long-term plans. If the front office decides to retool the roster, it could signal major changes, including the potential departure of Sabonis.

The Kings’ offseason moves will be crucial in determining their trajectory. Whether they opt to build around their core or initiate a rebuild, all eyes will be on Sacramento to see how they handle this pivotal moment. If uncertainty lingers, Sabonis could be the next big name on the trade market.
