Both present in the All-NBA Teams at the end of last season, but also at the 2023 All-Star Game, Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox will not travel to Indianapolis in two weeks. This is what the coaches of the Western Conference decided, and Mike Brown is disappointed after the revelation of the replacements for the All-Star Game.
“It is clear to anyone who watches the NBA and the Kings that De'Aaron and Domantas should have been selected for the All-Star Game this year,” estimates the Sacramento coach, interviewed in the columns of Andscape. “They are playing at an incredible level. Domantas signs historic stats with his “double-doubles” and De’Aaron displays his best 3-point average. Every year deserving players are cut from the team, but to me this is truly a blatant mistake. »
More than De'Aaron Fox, who didn't really want to play in the cold of Indianapolis anyway, it is the absence of Domantas Sabonis which can be of concern, even if the competition is still very tough in the West.
The Lithuanian, the best rebounder in the NBA, is the second player in the NBA with triple-doubles (13), the first with double-doubles (42), and since Wilt Chamberlain, no player has finished a season with at least 19 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists on average. But Domantas Sabonis is well on his way to achieving it.
