Report: Kings open to trading De’Aaron Fox before trade deadline

The Sacramento Kings are considering all options before the February 6th trade deadline, including potentially trading star point guard De’Aaron Fox.

According to ESPN‘s Shams Charania, the Kings “are expected to open up talks to potentially deal All-Star De’Aaron Fox” prior to the trade deadline.

Rich Paul, Fox’s agent, told Sacramento’s front office that they wanted to see what direction the organization was headed in before committing to an extension that would keep his client in California’s capital beyond 2026.
