**Sacramento, CA** – The Sacramento Kings are entering the 2023-24 season with a new level of confidence and ambition. After acquiring veteran All-Star DeMar DeRozan this offseason, the Kings now boast a star-studded lineup featuring Domantas Sabonis, De’Aaron Fox, and DeRozan, all known for their high-level play and team-first mentalities.
“There are no egos,” Sabonis told Bleacher Report, highlighting the Kings’ commitment to collaborative play. “We both just want to win,” he said of his partnership with Fox. “DeMar is even more of that. We’re just going to play off each other.”
Fox, who played a key role in recruiting DeRozan to Sacramento, is thrilled about the opportunity to share the court with the veteran guard. “He’s going to bring that vet presence and IQ,” Sabonis said of DeRozan. “I’ve learned a lot from him already.”
The addition of DeRozan, who averaged 24.0 points and 5.3 assists last season, adds another dimension to the Kings’ offensive firepower. His presence will create more opportunities for Sabonis and Fox, who themselves are coming off impressive seasons.
Fox, an All-Star in 2022-23, established himself as one of the league’s most dynamic guards, averaging 26.6 points and 5.6 assists while showcasing improved three-point shooting. Sabonis, meanwhile, solidified his status as a dominant force, leading the league in rebounding for two consecutive seasons.
With a talented core and a collective desire to win, the Kings have set their sights on reaching new heights. After breaking a 16-year playoff drought last season, the team is determined to make a deeper run in the competitive Western Conference.
“We all have to be on our A game,” Sabonis stated. “There are a lot of expectations this year, especially after breaking the playoff streak. The fans want a lot, and they deserve it.”
The Kings’ journey will be documented in the upcoming Netflix series “Starting 5,” giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the team’s dynamic and the personal sacrifices made by the players throughout the season.
With a strong roster, a shared vision for success, and a growing fan base, the Sacramento Kings are ready to make a statement in the upcoming season.
