When the San Antonio Spurs traded for De'Aaron Fox in early February, it was expected that the point guard would immediately become Victor Wembanyama 's running mate. While the two could still very easily have a long-term partnership, Wembanyama being shut down for the season did stop any immediate success in its tracks.

Former Kings guard De’Aaron Fox made his first appearance at Golden 1 Center as a member of the San Antonio Spurs.

De'Aaron Fox spent much of his time in Sacramento as the fan favorite and face of the Kings franchise who helped end a record-long playoff drought and brought much-needed joy to what had been a downtrodden team.
