Domantas Sabonis continued to establish himself as one of the NBA’s preeminent big men over the course of the 2020-21 campaign, his fifth NBA season and his fourth in Indiana.

Sabonis averaged a career-high 20.3 points per game on 53.5 percent shooting, 12 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.2 steals. He ranked fourth in the NBA in rebounding and led the Pacers in both rebounds and assists.

Sabonis was selected as an All-Star for the second straight season and represented the Pacers at All-Star festivities in Atlanta. He won the Skills Competition before taking part in the All-Star Game later that night.

The 6-11 Lithuanian big man had 48 double-doubles in 62 games. He also set the franchise record for triple-doubles in a season with nine and also holds the club record for career triple-doubles (13). Sabonis topped 30 points eight times on the season, including a career-high 36 in a win in Minnesota on Feb. 17. He matched his career best with 22 rebounds against Phoenix on Jan. 9 and set a new career mark with 15 assists in win over Philadelphia on May 11.

Sabonis had 14 points, 21 rebounds, and nine assists in the Pacers’ Play-In Tournament win over Charlotte on May 18. He then tallied another triple-double in the season-ending loss in Washington two nights later, finishing with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.
