Domantas Sabonis carries a lot with him whenever he steps onto an NBA court. Cementing his legacy in the world of basketball is not all he’s burdened with. The Sacramento Kings’ big man is also trying to live up to his father, Arvydas Sabonis’ mighty legacy.

“I’m just another basketball player. He’s a legend,” Sabonis once told ESPN’s Baxter Holmes. And the Kings star has done everything to ensure that he ends up a legend like his father. So far, he’s succeeded and there’s no better proof than how much the Kings value him. And one way we can measure that is by looking at how they’ve compensated him so far.

What is Domantas Sabonis’ salary with the Sacramento Kings? When does his contract end?

Domantas didn’t have the start he wanted for his NBA career. He did feature in a starting role for the OKC Thunder in his rookie season. But that didn’t mean his numbers reflected his talent or pedigree. How many points do you think he averaged as a first-round, top-15 Draft pick? Only 5.9 points per game! And despite leading the league in boards in 2024/25, he only had 3.6 rebounds per game as a rookie.

But his trade to the Indiana Pacers must’ve been a wake-up call for him. Sabonis never looked back once his points and rebound average hit double figures. And since he moved to the Kings, he has never averaged less than 18 points and 12 rebounds for them. This is why it’s no surprise that the Kings offered him a massive $186 million, 4-year contract extension in July 2023.

This contract makes him the 26th best-paid player in the NBA, ahead of the likes of MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and NBA champion Jayson Tatum. That’s just how much the Kings value having him among their ranks. And this deal will keep him in Sacramento till the 2027/28 NBA season.

Now how has this new mammoth deal affected his career earnings in the NBA?

How much has Domantas Sabonis made over the years in the NBA? What’s his net worth?

Domantas spent 5 fruitful years with the Indiana Pacers. There, he recorded his career-best points average to date at 20.3 points in the 2020/21 NBA season. So you may be shocked to learn that he only made a total of $40,333,126 while on the Pacers’ payroll.

The Kings are a different story. Domantas entered the club as one of the most reliable players in the league. And his compensation so far has matched his reputation. His current club has doled out a cool $108,150,000 in salary to Sabonis. But don’t think we forgot Oklahoma. His rookie scale contract with them earned him $2 million in his sole year there.

All in all, Domantas Sabonis has earned a whopping $150,923,326 from his NBA contracts. This number will go up to a staggering $287,339,326 by the time his latest deal concludes in 2027/28. And these massive paychecks are also why Domantas’ reported net worth of $30 million in 2024 is no surprise. But his salary isn’t solely responsible for his astounding net worth. No, Sabonis has his eggs in several baskets.

What are Domantas Sabonis’ endorsements?

Sabonis is endorsed by multiple prominent brands. The most noteworthy? Well, it’s the sneaker deal he’s had with Nike since 2016. And even though he idolized Ray Wallace after meeting him as a 4-year-old, he’s partial to the Kobe Proto 6 when it comes to sneakers. Sabonis’ marketability can also be seen North of the border as shown by his partnership with Moose Knuckles. This is a Canadian outdoor wear and accessories brand.

Sadly, we don’t know how much these endorsement deals bring in numbers to him. However, we can assume it’s quite a hefty sum, given his appeal both in the States and globally.

All in all, Sabonis has surpassed his father’s legacy when it comes to achievements off the court. However, as the son of a EuroLeague and FIBA World Cup Champion, he still needs to pull off quite a bit more to eclipse his dad’s legacy. But Domantas has time and an NBA ring could go way long way!
