The Sacramento Kings closed their impressive run in the regular season, finishing as the 3rd seed on the Western Conference table. The Kings are now preparing for their playoff battle against the Golden State Warriors. Ahead of their matchup against Stephen Curry‘s Warriors, news regarding their star player Domantas Sabonis’s spiritual journey has surfaced.

The 7-foot-1 Kings giant will be leading his team against the Warriors in their game tonight. The Sacramento side have been exceptional this season and are looking forward to pull off an upset against the defending champs. However, according his wife, Sabonis is looking forward to joining another team before the crucial matchup.

Domantas Sabonis is set to convert to Judaism

The Lithuanian-American basketball star is married to Shashana Sabonis. She recently revealed that the 3x NBA All-Star is in the process of converting to Judaism.

Shashana said, “He loves [Judaism] and really wants to be a part of it.” She added, “We really haven?t talked about it[publicly]”. As it turns out, Sabonis has been interested in Judaism for a long time. The news of the 26-year-old’s willingness to convert was also confirmed by Sherman, a Conservative rabbi.

Sherman also hosts a sports podcast Rabbi on the Sidelines. He said that Sabonis texted him after his game against the Houston Rockets, expressing his desire to learn more about Judaism. He said, “He?s always asking questions. He keeps kosher, and when he?s in Vilnius, he?s going to the kosher butchers to get chicken.”

Although Sabonis is fully dedicated to learning all about Judaism, his NBA responsibilities don’t allow him enough time. However, Shashana said that Sabonis is still making time to learn about this religion. She said, “He has to fly and he has to do those things, but he?s continuing his learning.” In August 2021, a Reform rabbi performed the marriage of the Sabonises. They have a son together, while Shashana is pregnant with their second child.

Shashana’s prediction for the upcoming playoff games of the Sacramento Kings

While Sabonis is busy preparing for the upcoming battle against the Warriors, his wife gave her prediction on the games. She said, “The Kings are going to win in six games. We?re a really great team, and everybody is really determined to win.”

The biggest problem for the Kings will be Steph Curry as he had a phenomenal regular season against them. In 4 regular-season games, Stephen Curry destroyed the Kings, scoring 33.0 points per game on 5.0 assists per game, while shooting 58.4% from the field and 50.0% from beyond the arc.
