Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis made all sorts of headlines in the aftermath of their heartbreaking Game 7 loss against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. This was especially after Draymond Green called Domas out for not shaking hands with his opponents after the game. According to the outspoken Warriors veteran, he “lost a lot of respect for Sabonis” for refusing to congratulate the Dubs after Sacramento's tough loss.

Sabonis has now broken his silence on the incident. The Kings big man was asked by reporters to comment on Green's reaction to his decision not to shake hands. And apparently, Sabonis was a bit stumped by Draymond's tirade.

“I don't know how to respond,” Sabonis said.

At first, Sabonis tried to explain his actions. He probably knew he wasn't going anywhere with his statement, which is why he decided to pull back and just say that he had no response to Green's rant. Does this mean the Kings center realized that Draymond had a point and that he was wrong for not paying respect to the Warriors after their Game 7 victory?

That's all water under the bridge now, though. There's nothing Sabonis can do to take that moment back. The 26-year-old was clearly heartbroken at that point, which is probably why he decided to walk away without shaking hands. It's not exactly a sportsmanlike gesture. So perhaps this could be another learning experience for Domantas Sabonis and the rest of the Kings.
