What would a DeAaron Fox trade mean for the Spurs? A Fox-Wembanyama partnership could be dangerous in the West
Kings Open to Trading De'Aaron Fox Ahead of NBA Trade Deadline The star point guard is surprisingly hitting the trade market.
JANUARY 28 • SI.COM
Kings could move him The Kings are expected to "open up talks to potentially deal" Fox ahead of Feb. 6 trade deadline, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Impact There hasn't been much noise on the trade front for Fox since the Kings replaced coach Mike Brown with Doug Christie, but things could heat up quickly following this report. Charania notes that it's believed that Fox has a "destination in mind" ahead of his free agency in 2026, so while he will have plenty of suitors, Fox could gain some leverage if it becomes known which team he desires to join. Depending on what the Kings could get in return for Fox, a trade could open things up for guys such as Malik Monk, Keon Ellis and Devin Carter from a fantasy perspective.

Will play against New York Fox (thumb) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Impact Fox had a shaky status ahead of Saturday's game in New York, but he will play through against the Knicks. The star point guard is having another stellar season for the Kings, averaging 25.4 points, 6.2 assists and a career-high 5.1 rebounds per game, shooting 47 percent from the floor and 31.7 percent from deep.

Goes through shootaround Fox (thumb) participated in shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Fox is officially listed as questionable Saturday due to a sprained right thumb. However, the star guard's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against New York.
JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Deemed questionable for Saturday Fox is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks due to a right thumb sprain.
Impact The thumb injury is a new development for Fox, who posted 17 points (7-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Nuggets. Over his last five outings, the star guard has averaged 16.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting only 32.2 percent from the field in 37.8 minutes per contest. If Fox is sidelined, Keon Ellis and Devin Carter should both see an uptick in playing time.

Shooting woes continue in loss Fox had 17 points (7-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Fox struggled from the field once again, and he has went through a rough stretch scoring the rock of late. The star guard has shot only 32.2 percent from the floor over his last five appearances, during which he has averaged 16.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks in 37.8 minutes per contest. Fox has reached 20-plus points only one time in that inefficient five-game span, though he has still stuffed the stat sheet, which is encouraging for fantasy managers.

Logs double-double with 11 boards Fox provided 20 points (9-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Fox usually hits the double-double milestone via a high assist total, but Fox achieved the point-rebound double-double for the second time this season during Tuesday's defeat. Although Fox is enjoying some of the best numbers of his eight-year career, he's only recorded six double-doubles, which is surprising considering his voluminous production.

Scores efficiently in return Fox (glute) recorded 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 33 minutes in Sunday's 124-119 win over the Bulls.
Impact In his return from a three-game absence due to a bruised right glute, Fox ceded more of the distribution responsibilities to backcourt mate Malik Monk (team-high nine assists), but Fox made up for the atypically low assist count by displaying some rare hot shooting from three-point land. Considering Fox came into the contest converting only 32.1 percent of his three-point attempts on the season, fantasy managers shouldn't count on him providing more than one or two triples in most contests, but more importantly, the 27-year-old guard looked healthy and composed in his return to the court. Managers can feel safe in rolling out Fox for the Kings' upcoming three-game week.

Will return Sunday Fox (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Fox has been upgraded from questionable to available and will return to action following a three-game absence due to a right glute contusion. Fox's return will send Keon Ellis back to the bench, while Malik Monk's usage will take a hit. Before the injury, Fox scored at least 23 points in nine straight games, averaging 28.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 37.6 minutes a night during that stretch.

Questionable to play Sunday Fox (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Fox has missed the Kings' last three games due to a right glute contusion. He was able to participate in the Kings' shootaround before Friday's game against the Celtics, but he wasn't able to progress enough in his recovery to play. Keon Ellis would remain in the starting lineup and Malik Monk would continue to see a larger role on offense if Fox is unable to play Sunday.

Slated to miss another contest Fox (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Despite participating during Friday's morning shootaround, Fox has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss a third straight game. Keon Ellis should draw another start in Fox's absence, while Kevin Huerter and Devin Carter will also see additional minutes. However, Malik Monk has been the primary beneficiary thus far, averaging 26.7 points, 8.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 37.0 minutes over his last three appearances. Fox's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Chicago.

Impact Fox's ability to participate in shootaround bodes well for his status after a two-game absence due to the glute injury. If the star point guard remains sidelined for a third consecutive outing, Keon Ellis should remain in the starting five, though Devin Carter and Kevin Huerter are candidates for a bump in minutes off the bench. Over his last five outings, Fox has averaged 29.2 points, 6.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 38.0 minutes per game.

Questionable against Boston Fox (glute) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Fox has missed two straight games for the Kings and could be on track to miss a third. Even though Sacramento has struggled this season, Fox has been playing at a high level, averaging a career-high 26.7 points with 4.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game. If he's unable to play against Boston, Malik Monk could shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Impact The Kings haven't released an update on Fox after he missed the past two games, but his availability at Wednesday's practice is a good sign. The Kings are off until Friday against the Celtics, so Fox's fantasy managers can be optimistic about his chances of playing.
