Domantas Sabonis trade could happen as Kings, Raptors race toward deadline

The Kings can still find a potential Domantas Sabonis trade before the Feb. 5 deadline, in which the Raptors remain as a serious suitor for the star center.

Three days away from Thursday's trade deadline, a Domantas Sabonis deal is still likely to happen for the Sacramento Kings.

As such, Jake Fischer argued that the Toronto Raptors are being viewed as a potential destination for the Lithuanian star out of the team's desperate need for a frontcourt enforcer in the wake of Jakob Poeltl's back injury absences.

"I'm told that the Kings do, however, still see pathways for moving Domantas Sabonis before Thursday's 3 PM ET deadline," Fischer wrote in his newest Substack report.

"Sources say Toronto remains the team most sources with knowledge of the situation see as a viable suitor for the All-Star big man. Jakob Poeltl's prolonged injury absence from a back issue, while the Raptors continue to battle for homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs, has created an even larger need for a frontcourt boost."
