NBA Rumors: The Sacramento Kings have begun to explore the possibility of trading De'Aaron Fox before the February 6 deadline, as sources informed ESPN. The 27-year-old point guard has one year remaining on his contract before becoming a free agent in the summer of 2026 and, so far, has not expressed a long-term commitment to the franchise. He would not go to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Interest in Fox will be high, especially considering he was selected to the All-NBA team during the 2022-23 season. However, league sources indicate that the San Antonio Spurs top his list of preferred destinations. Both Fox and his representation agency, Klutch Sports, led by Rich Paul, have a clear direction in mind for his upcoming free agency.
The Kings have undergone significant changes recently, including the dismissal of coach Mike Brown last month for failing to meet the franchise's expectations. Since then, under interim coach Doug Christie, the team has had a positive streak, winning 11 of their last 15 games. Currently, Sacramento maintains a 1.5-game lead over the Golden State Warriors in the fight for the final play-in spot in the Western Conference.
Fox has spent his entire career in Sacramento and has established himself as one of the franchise's standout players, ranking fourth on the Kings' all-time scoring list, behind only Oscar Robertson, Jack Twyman, and Mitch Richmond. In his eighth NBA season, the point guard is averaging 25.2 points and 6.2 assists per game, shooting 46.8% from the field.
