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.

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.
