The Sacramento Kings have made a significant move ahead of the 2025 NBA trade deadline, acquiring veteran center Jonas Valanciunas from the Washington Wizards. In exchange, the Kings send forward Sidy Cissoko and two second-round picks to the Wizards. Valanciunas, who has averaged 11.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game this season, will join forces with fellow Lithuanian Domantas Sabonis in Sacramento, enhancing the Kings' frontcourt depth.

Valanciunas, who is in the first year of a three-year contract, has previously played a pivotal role for the Wizards and is expected to strengthen the Kings as they seek to improve their overall performance this season.
