Report: 1 All-Star Wants to Leave the Kings
Sabonis hired agent Aaron Mintz, who has steered several star exits, as the Kings decline extension talks despite his contract through 2027-28.
- On Tuesday, ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported that Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis "wants to get out" of Sacramento, having hired agent Aaron Mintz of CAA to potentially facilitate a trade.
- Sacramento is not interested in extension conversations with the star, reflecting the franchise's pivot following a brutal 22-60 finish last season despite Sabonis remaining under contract through 2027-2028.
- Mintz, who orchestrated Trae Young's exit from the Atlanta Hawks last January, could facilitate a similar departure following Sabonis's injury-riddled season, in which he played just 19 games before undergoing meniscus repair surgery.
- The Kings have already dismantled much of their 2022-2023 "Beam Team" roster, parting ways with co-star Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes, and Davion Mitchell in recent years.
- With $94.1 million owed over the next two seasons, any potential trade remains complex, though Sabonis's hiring of Mintz signals a definitive shift after more than a year of trade speculation.
