ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Kings are expected to open talks for All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox ahead of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline. The San Antonio Spurs have been rumored as a preferred destination for Fox with significant mutual interest from both sides, according to Forbes NBA reporter Evan Sidery.
De’Aaron Fox could soon find himself playing for another team for the first time in his eight-year NBA career.
De'Aaron Fox scored 16 of his 30 points in the third quarter Monday night as the Sacramento Kings erased a nine-point deficit and pulled away down the stretch for a 110-96 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in New York.

James Harden (24), Norman Powell (23) and Ivica Zubac (25) all scored 20+ points in the loss, snapping LA’s two-game win streak. Kawhi Leonard played a season-high 28 minutes and finished with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block.
Karl-Anthony Towns had 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Jalen Brunson had 20 points and six assists for the Knicks, who scored 143 points for the second straight game and won their fourth straight. New York (31-16) won for the 16th time in its past 22 games.
The Sacramento Kings got back on the winning track Monday in Brooklyn, avoiding their third straight loss against the lowly Nets and getting De’Aaron Fox to snap out of his recent slump.
