The San Antonio Spurs are reportedly monitoring De’Aaron Fox’s situation as uncertainty looms over the Sacramento Kings star’s future, as per Sam Amick and Anthony Slater of The Athletic. 

Fox, a vital piece of Sacramento’s roster, has been delivering stellar performances this season, averaging 26.2 points, 6.1 assists, and a career-high 5.0 rebounds per game. Despite his efforts, the Kings have struggled, currently sitting 12th in the Western Conference with a 13-15 record, raising questions about their trajectory and ability to contend at a high level.

Fox’s decision to forgo a three-year, $165 million extension during the offseason reflects his focus on competing for championships rather than merely making playoff appearances. 

He remains eligible for a more lucrative four-year, $229 million deal next summer, potentially extending to five years and $345 million if he earns an All-NBA nod this season. However, Fox has expressed his desire for the Kings to show a commitment to building a championship-caliber team, a standard they have struggled to meet since their playoff appearance two seasons ago.

As Sacramento’s performance falters, rival teams are keeping an eye on Fox’s situation, with the Spurs reportedly positioning themselves to make a move should he become available. 

The Spurs, led by rising superstar Victor Wembanyama, have the assets to assemble an attractive trade package, boasting 12 first-round picks between 2025 and 2031. Adding a dynamic player like Fox would not only bolster their roster but also provide Wembanyama with a proven playmaker to complement his burgeoning talents.

Sacramento’s front office is facing mounting pressure. Fox’s agent, Rich Paul, recently met with Kings management to discuss his client’s uncertain future. While Fox has not requested a trade, it is clear both sides are evaluating their options. The Kings must decide whether to reshape their roster around Fox and other core players like Domantas Sabonis and Keegan Murray or explore trading their star guard to avoid the risk of losing him in free agency after the 2025-26 season.

Fox’s potential departure could spark a rebuilding phase for Sacramento, which has struggled to capitalize on its young core and recent acquisitions, such as DeMar DeRozan, who has yet to make a significant impact. On the other hand, the Spurs appear poised to seize an opportunity to strengthen their roster and elevate their status in the competitive Western Conference.

For now, Fox remains committed to helping the Kings improve, but the franchise’s ability to demonstrate progress will be crucial in determining his future. Should the Kings continue to falter, Fox’s departure may become inevitable, with the Spurs leading the pack of suitors ready to make their move.
