The Sacramento Kings might soon be parting with star point guard De’Aaron Fox.
As trade discussions heat up ahead of the upcoming NBA deadline, speculation grows about Fox’s future with the team.
While several teams have shown interest, potential suitors remain cautious due to Fox’s pending free agency in 2026 and his apparent unwillingness to sign a contract extension before then.
According to betting odds from Bovada, the Miami Heat have emerged as the favorites to acquire the dynamic guard, via NBACentral.

The odds paint an intriguing picture, with the Heat at +450, followed by the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves each at +500.
The Houston Rockets (+600), Orlando Magic (+650), Denver Nuggets (+650), Los Angeles Clippers (+1000) and New Orleans Pelicans (+1400) are other potential destinations.
With the Heat making unwanted headlines due to Jimmy Butler’s situation, pursuing Fox makes sense.
Their proven track record under head coach Erik Spoelstra and consistent championship contention make them an appealing destination for any player.
Adding Fox to their roster also could significantly boost their title aspirations.
Meanwhile, the Spurs’ inclusion among the favorites isn’t surprising. Victor Wembanyama’s remarkable play has transformed the franchise into another attractive destination for elite talent.
In addition, the Spurs’ favorable salary cap situation, thanks to his rookie contract, allows them flexibility in pursuing established veterans.
As the trade deadline approaches, eyes will remain on Fox and the Kings, with multiple contenders positioning themselves for a potential deal.
