Two-time NBA All-Star from Lithuania introduced himself to Kings fans with 22 points (10/18 2PT), 14 rebounds, and 5 assists performance.

"We're going to come out and play hard, share the ball. Today was a great example of that. The passing is contagious and that's where the fun happens," Sabonis said post-game, via Franklin Cartoscelli.

According to Lithuanian big man, he is happy to be in Sacramento and cannot wait to find his best play.

"I feel like this is a fresh start for me. It's going to be exciting. I want to be here. The fans were amazing tonight. I'm in shock. Today was a great day," commented the 25-year-old on joining the Kings.

"I want to find a place where I feel at home and I feel loved and I think that I have found it here. I love it here," added Sabonis.

The 2.11-meter center touched on the topic of his connection and Pick & Rolls with De'Aaron Fox as well.

"I'm excited. He (De'Aaron Fox) suits me a lot and I fit him a lot. I feel like we can have a very special Pick and Roll game," admitted Sabonis.

Last but not least, Domantas Sabonis revealed that this is probably the highest-paced team he's been on.
