The San Antonio Spurs just made a franchise-altering move by acquiring De’Aaron Fox from the Sacramento Kings, sending away Zach Collins, Tre Jones and picks in a bold trade that signals their playoff ambitions.
With Victor Wembanyama already turning heads, Fox’s addition creates one of the most exciting young duos in the NBA.
After eight seasons wearing No. 5 with the Kings, Fox will need to switch his number in San Antonio as rookie Stephon Castle already claims it.
Fox reportedly will sport a number with significant Spurs history as it was worn by an NBA Finals MVP.
“De’Aaron Fox will wear No. 2 for the Spurs, per Don Harris (of News4SA). Last worn by Kawhi Leonard,” Legion Hoops wrote on X.

Fox’s offensive prowess makes the trade particularly exciting for San Antonio. The team has long struggled with guard play, and he represents a transformative solution.
In recent seasons, he’s emerged as one of the NBA’s top guards, bringing elite offensive skills that should complement Wembanyama perfectly.
Their potential two-man game looks exceptional on paper.
Fox’s vision and passing ability could unlock Wembanyama’s potential in ways few NBA players can match.
The partnership promises to inject new energy into a Spurs franchise hungry for playoff relevance.
As Fox joins Wembanyama, San Antonio fans have every reason to be optimistic.
This trade isn’t just about adding talent. It’s about building a potential championship foundation for years to come.
