The Pacers are also including a 2027 second-round pick in the deal to the Kings, via the report.

Sabonis has been a member of the Pacers since 2017, when the Indiana club made a trade with Oklahoma City Thunder. The latter drafted Sabonis with the 11th pick.

The 25-year-old Lituanian is averaging 18.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal over 47 games (34 minutes) this season.

Two-time NBA All-Star (2020, 2021) holds career averages of 14.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 400 duels.

Domantas Sabonis has a $19.8M cap hit for this season but that drops to $18.5M and $19.4M over the next 2 years because his All-Star bonus is now unlikely, according to Bobby Marks.

Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday are registering 7.1 and 11 points respectively this season.

Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton were key players for the Kings. Hield is averaging 14.4 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists, while Haliburton contributing with 14.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 7.4 assists.

NBA veteran Tristan Thompson is adding 6.2 points and 5.4 rebounds over 30 matches.

Sacramento Kings sit 13th in the Western Conference with 20 wins in 55 duels, while Indiana Pacers are also 13th in the Eastern Conference (19 wins and 36 defeats).

Indiana has been busy ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. The Pacers sent guard Caris LeVert and a 2022 second-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for injured point guard Ricky Rubio and three draft picks.
