The clock is ticking on Sacramento. Would Houston or Orlando make a play for the point guard? Or will the Spurs form a dynamic duo?

Assuming the Kings don't get an All-Star-level player in return for Fox, their current roster construction could begin to tumble. The Kings are built around Fox's speed and the playmaking ability of Domantas Sabonis. Without Fox pushing the tempo, the Kings rotation could quickly falter.

The Sacramento Kings got back on the winning track Monday in Brooklyn, avoiding their third straight loss against the lowly Nets and getting De’Aaron Fox to snap out of his recent slump.

De’Aaron Fox could soon find himself playing for another team for the first time in his eight-year NBA career.

De'Aaron Fox scored 16 of his 30 points in the third quarter Monday night as the Sacramento Kings erased a nine-point deficit and pulled away down the stretch for a 110-96 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — Domantas Sabonis had 21 points, 22 rebounds and 10 assists in his seventh triple-double of the season, De’Aaron Fox scored 30 points and the Sacramento Kings beat the Brooklyn Nets 110-93 on Monday night.

Sacramento Kings will face the Philadelphia 76ers on January 29 with De'Aaron Fox available and no players injured. The Kings are at full strength and looking to improve their standing. In contrast, the 76ers are dealing with several key injuries,

Outside of the off-court noise, the Kings are still a very capable team. Domantas Sabonis remains one of the best bigs in the NBA, and will have plenty of room and size to work with against the short (handed) Sixers. Outside of the Fox-Sabonis duo, they have plenty of scoring options with DeMar DeRozan, Malik Monk and Keegan Murray.

A little more than a week before the NBA trade deadline, the league was shaken up by several reports indicating that Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox wants out of Sacramento, and that the team would be wise to move on from him before he enters the final year and $37 million of his contract.
