The Sacramento Kings are facing a challenging situation during the 2024-25 NBA season. Currently, they hold the 12th spot in the Western Conference standings with 13 wins and 15 losses. Amid this tough scenario, trade rumors surrounding their point guard, De’Aaron Fox, have intensified.
Recent updates from Sam Amick and Anthony Slater at The Athletic report that De’Aaron Fox, along with his agent Rich Paul, had a significant meeting with Sacramento Kings GM Monte McNair and Assistant GM Wes Wilcox just before the crucial game against the Los Angeles Lakers. They likely discussed important aspects regarding Fox’s future with the team.

Barring a significant Kings turnaround, others are surely close behind,” Via Sam Amick and Anthony Slater of the Athletic.
