Sacramento Kings: Domantas Sabonis attempts to block out trade rumors

However, he told Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee that he refuses to let the noise distract him. The Lithuanian big man emphasized that dwelling on speculation is pointless; his priority remains playing hard. "You can't do anything about it," Sabonis said. "You just try to block it out. I'm here right now, so I’m going to go out there and do my best."

The three-time All-Star admitted trade chatter carries more weight now given his life changes. Sabonis is married with three children, owns a Napa Valley home, and runs a wine label, making uncertainty harder. "It’s different this time," he explained, citing his kids. "But when I step on the court, everything goes away. I just think about playing and helping the team win."
