Sabonis is having an outstanding season with the Kings, showcasing his prowess on both ends of the court. Averaging 20.0 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game, he's been a force to reckon with. His shooting percentages, including 60.8% from the field and 40.8% from beyond the arc, underline his efficiency.

Leading the league in various categories like rebounds, double-doubles, and triple-doubles, Sabonis has been a standout performer. With career averages of 15.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists, he's proven his value across multiple teams since being drafted in 2016.

Currently, the Kings hold a 41-29 record, placing them in seventh in the Western Conference. Positioned to enter the play-in tournament, they're within reach of a higher seed, aiming to secure a direct playoff spot.

Looking ahead, Sacramento's postseason prospects are intriguing, given their competitive edge and potential matchups. After last year's close playoff series against the Warriors, the Kings are poised for another run, ready to make their mark in the 2024 playoffs.


Sabonis has emerged as one of the NBA's most reliable performers this season, solidifying his status as a top contender for the MVP award. Leading the league in double-doubles (66), triple-doubles (24), and rebounds per game (13.7), the 27-year-old has showcased remarkable consistency.

In March alone, Sabonis has been exceptional, averaging 20.3 points, 16.3 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game. This puts him on track to become only the second player in NBA history to average 20 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 assists in a calendar month, a feat achieved only by NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley.

During the recent victory against the Orlando Magic, Sabonis further demonstrated his prowess with 21 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 assists, marking his 53rd consecutive triple-double. This ties the NBA record set by Kevin Love in 2011, with Sabonis poised to break the record in the upcoming game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Barring a significant drop in performance in the remaining games of the month, Sabonis is set to make history with both the double-double record and the 20/15/5 milestone, solidifying March as a memorable month in his illustrious career.
