Fox teamed up with his college teammate, Malik Monk, when the Kings signed him in the 2022 offseason, creating one of the most electric guard duos ever. As best friends and fantastic teammates, it is heartbreaking for the duo to be separated again.

Fox played a key role in bringing his childhood friend and former Kentucky teammate to Sacramento when Monk signed a free-agent deal with the Kings in the summer of 2022. Now, Fox is gone and Monk is taking over as the team’s starting point guard.

The Sacramento Kings made a significant trade on Sunday, sending De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs and returning Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls.
