Before arriving in the NBA in 2016, the Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis was already equipped with two distinct advantages over your average rookie entering the league. First, being the son of Basketball Hall of Famer Arydas Sabonis, who played seven seasons in the NBA suiting up for Portland. The second critical factor was his development in Spain playing for Unicaja Malaga.

The three-time All-Star has made his name in the NBA through his impressive rebounding. A skill at which he’s led the league both in 2023 and 2024. But, while the Lithuanian star has been tearing it up inside the court, beside him is a woman who has supported Sabonis through his journey.
