Victor Wembanyama has a new point guard: De’Aaron Fox is on his way out of Sacramento and headed to San Antonio.
Fox is one of the centerpieces of a trade agreed to by three teams, one that sends two-time All-Star Zach LaVine from Chicago to Sacramento, Zach Collins from San Antonio to Chicago, and Kevin Huerter from the Kings to the Bulls, two people with knowledge of the discussions said Sunday night.
The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade has not gone through the league approval process and cannot be finalized until that happens.
“I’m grateful I got to spend the beginning of my young adulthood here,” Fox wrote in an Instagram post, addressing Sacramento fans on Monday. “The love for the city is unmatched. To the fans — y’all deserve the best. I wanted to end my career here and never expected it would end this way, but I’ll always be grateful for your support.”
Also involved in the trade, according to the people who spoke to the AP: Jordan McLaughlin goes from Sacramento to the Spurs, Sidy Cissoko goes from the Spurs to the Kings and Tre Jones leaves the Spurs for Chicago. There is also a slew of draft capital in the agreement, with Sacramento set to get at least three first-round picks, a source said.
The NBA’s trade deadline is Thursday afternoon. This three-team deal was agreed upon on the same day that the stunning deal sending Luka Doncic from the Mavericks to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis was announced.
Fox is averaging 25 points, 6.1 assists, and five rebounds per game this season for the Kings. LaVine is averaging 24 points per game this season, putting him on pace to average at least that many points for the fifth time.
