THE Sacramento Kings have a new weapon to use alongside Domantas Sabonis And De’Aaron Fox six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan.
It’s been over a month since DeRozan landed in Sacramento via a sign-and-trade deal with the The Chicago BullsThe 35-year-old is entering his 16th year in the NBA, but the seasoned veteran should be a big help on Mike Brown’s team.
A new video posted to social media shows DeRozan working with Sabonis on USC’s campus in Los Angeles. The two were filmed working on dribbling and developing chemistry ahead of the 2024-25 season starting in October (via dribble2much | IG).

The trio of DeRozan, Fox and Sabonis forms a rare group of players who averages 5 or more assists on the same team. If each can bring their playmaking skills to the table, the Kings could be one of the most dangerous offensive teams heading into the season.
Sabonis spoke about the work he and his new teammate put in after finishing (via dribble2much | IG):
First practice with DeMar, you know. I flew out to LA last night, I’m going to spend the week with him, trying to get to know our games and pick the spots that we like.
– Domantas Sabonis, Kings C
Sabonis on the offseason:
“First workout with DeMar. I arrived in LA last night. I’ll be here all week with him.”
A deadly duo is brewing in Sacramento… 👀
