Domantas Sabonis had 17 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists for his 60th career triple-double, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Kings’ three-game win streak alive.
Playing in Toronto, the Raptors got the 131-128 overtime win, despite missing their star Scottie Barnes to a right orbital fracture. Barnes is expected to miss at least three weeks of action.
RJ Barret scored 31 points for the winning side and Austrian center Jakob Poeltl added 13 points and nine rebounds.
The Raptors retired former star Vince Carter’s No. 15 jersey during a halftime ceremony.
“It’s not just Carter 15 going up, it’s all of us going up,” Carter said during the event. “The memories, however, you view it, go up tonight. I hope and pray we enjoy our jersey being retired forever together.”
Former Toronto teammates Tracy McGrady, Antonio Davis, Kevin Willis, Charles Oakley, Morris Peterson, Dee Brown, Jerome Williams, Alvin Williams, and Muggsy Bogues joined Carter, his family, and Raptors president Masai Ujiri on the court for the ceremony.
