Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis has been one of the top names on the trade block ahead of next week's deadline.
HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reported Wednesday that the trade market for Sabonis is heating up, with four potential suitors emerging.
"Kings three-time All-Star center Domantas Sabonis has recently been linked to the Wizards, Suns, and Bulls, per The Athletic. HoopsHype has also reported that the Raptors expressed interest in trading for Sabonis since last summer," Scotto said.

Sabonis, 29, is one of the top centers available this trade season. Scotto reports that the Kings have a high asking price for the former All-Star.
"The Kings told at least one interested team that they’d like a first-round pick in return, HoopsHype has learned," Scotto said. "Over the next two seasons, Sabonis is owed a combined $94.08 million."
Sabonis is averaging 15.5 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists this season. He missed 27 games with a partially torn meniscus in his left knee, but returned to the lineup on Jan. 16 against the Wizards.
Scotto later said that the Suns are unlikely to trade for Sabonis due to their limited future assets.
Sabonis is in his fifth season in Sacramento after being acquired from the Indiana Pacers for Tyrese Haliburton. He's averaged 18+ points in eight NBA seasons, dating back to the 2019-20 campaign.
The Kings have struggled to a 12-36 record this season and are looking to make major roster changes at the deadline. DeMar DeRozan and Keon Ellis are two other Kings who are reportedly on the trade block.
