The chatter around starting Domantas Sabonis only grows louder by the day. The limited stats (hello sample size theater) at our disposal say the starters are better with him in there — and not Myles Turner.
But Domas doesn’t hear any of this.
“I don’t pay attention to the noise,” Sabonis said in a phone interview after practice on Thursday. “I know what I’m capable of and I’m just taking advantage of the opportunities I have.”
A diplomatic response, but he sounded sincere. Whether it is the expectations for him coming into the season or his current place in the team’s hierarchy, Sabonis is focused on basketball.
