DeAaron Fox’s Career and Performance
DeAaron Fox has been a standout player for the Sacramento Kings since being drafted fifth overall in the 2017 NBA Draft. Known for his speed, playmaking, and scoring ability, Fox has consistently improved his game over the years. Last season, he averaged 26.6 points and 5.6 assists per game, showcasing his ability to lead the Kings’ offense.
Contract Negotiations
Fox recently decided to bypass a three-year, $165 million maximum extension that he was eligible to sign this offseason. Instead, he and his agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, are positioning him for a larger deal in the 2025 offseason. By waiting until next summer, Fox will be eligible for a four-year, $229 million maximum extension or a five-year, $345 million supermax deal if he makes the All-NBA team.
Kings’Â Perspective
The Sacramento Kings have been supportive of Fox’s decision to wait for a larger contract. Kings owner Vivek Ranadive and franchise officials have worked closely with Fox on major decisions, including the acquisition of All-Star DeMar DeRozan. The Kings are committed to building a competitive team around Fox and ensuring his long-term success with the franchise.
