The Sacramento Kings are finalising a deal to send All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox to Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs as part of a multi-team NBA trade, ESPN reported.
The deal will see Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine go to the Kings, per ESPN’s reporting on Sunday.
The Kings had reportedly opened up trade talks for Fox last week after it became clear that the 27-year-old, who has one more year on his contract, was not committed to staying long-term in Sacramento.
The Spurs emerged as a preferred destination and the move will unite Fox with French star Wembanyama, who is averaging 24.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and a remarkable 4.0 blocks per game.
The Spurs added veterans to the young core led by Wembanyama this season, and the addition of Fox could enhance a late-season push as well as provide a building block for the next several seasons.
Fox is in his eighth season in the NBA, all with Sacramento.
He slogged through five losing seasons with the Kings before they reached the play
