Domantas Sabonis has received a troubling signal about his future in Sacramento. ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst reports that the Kings do not intend to extend the Lithuanian centerโ€™s contract, despite a deal that runs through the summer of 2028.

Sabonis is due to earn $45.4 million this season, with his salary rising to $48.6 million next year. ESPN also lists him among the leading candidates to be traded, putting the future of one of Sacramentoโ€™s key players under discussion.

The 28-year-old center changed agents during the offseason, hiring Aaron Mintz. Mintz works on cases similar to Sabonisโ€™ situation, helping players obtain trades when they are playing for weaker teams.

Sabonisโ€™ position may also be affected by his limited availability last season. He appeared in only 19 games because of an injury, averaging 15.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in those appearances.
