While Kings officials talk often about the commitment to a long-term future with this group, there is an unmistakable urgency that comes with the present. De’Aaron Fox has just two seasons left on his deal, and league sources say the prospect of him entering free agency in the summer of 2026 remains in play — especially if he doesn’t make All-NBA this season.

Sacramento Kings star De’Aaron Fox is bypassing a three-year, $165 million maximum extension this year as he and his representative, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, position the All-Star point guard for a larger deal in the 2025 offseason, sources told ESPN on Monday. Fox, slated to be a free agent in 2026, has been eligible to sign the three-year deal before the start of the regular season. By waiting for next summer, Fox would open up the possibility of a four-year, $229 million maximum extension with the Kings — or a five-year, $345 million supermax deal should he be named to an All-NBA team. -via ESPN / October 14, 2024
