While the Sacramento Kings have reportedly heard offers for Domantas Sabonis<\/a> amid trade talks, are the Toronto Raptors<\/a> still in the mix? After a near two-month absence due to a torn left meniscus, Sabonis returned for a 128-115 win against the Washington Wizards last week. While the Kings are easing Domantas back into the fold on a minutes restriction, it hasn\u2019t quieted rumors ahead of this year\u2019s trade deadline.<\/p>\n

The Raptors are reportedly still in pursuit<\/a> to make a trade for Sabonis, according to The Stein Line\u2019s Jake Fischer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSources say that Raptors personnel are also messaging that Toronto isn\u2019t actively pursuing Memphis\u2019 Ja Morant, either, even though the Grizzlies continue to welcome inquiries for Morant,\u201d Fischer reported. \u201cBut I have been told by various NBA figures that the Raptors are still intrigued by the prospect of pursuing Sacramento Kings<\/a> center Domantas Sabonis<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toronto is expected to be relentless at the trade deadline, and will reportedly settle for alternative bigs such as Sabonis.<\/p>\n

While trade rumors have connected them to Domantas Sabonis, the Raptors could settle for Pelicans\u2019 Trey Murphy III<\/a>, according to ClutchPoints\u2019 Brett Siegel.<\/p>\n

\u201cEastern Conference rival front-office personnel continue to point to the Toronto Raptors as a team ready to strike. Domantas Sabonis and Anthony Davis have both been big names linked to Toronto, yet the Raptors are still lurking and seeing what aggressive moves will present themselvesbefore the trade deadline,\u201d Siegel reported.<\/p>\n

The Raptors are another team that has spoken with the Pelicans regarding Trey Murphy III and other players on their roster, so don\u2019t count out this organization finding a big upgrade this season. But no matter what, the Raptors seem set on dipping below the tax and adding another frontcourt talent amid Jakob Poeltl\u2019s lingering back problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NBA trade deadline is February 5.<\/p>\n
