Victor Wembanyama has been the focal point of the San Antonio Spurs' rebuilding since the team selected him as the top rookie in the 2023 NBA draft. Over a year later, the Spurs could make a move that would pair him with an elite scorer and a bona fide All-Star-level player from a Western Conference rival.
According to a report by Sam Amick and Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Spurs are positioning themselves as the frontrunner whenever Sacramento Kings’ superstar De’Aaron Fox asks for a trade out of his team for the sole purpose of pairing him up with franchise cornerstone Wembanyama.
“League sources say Fox has not asked for a trade, the former All-Star and his prominent agent [Rich Paul] are reading the room in Sacramento before deciding what comes next,” the report says.
