De’Aaron Fox went for 27 points on 11-of-18 shooting from the floor (2-of-4 3-pointers) to go with eight assists, six rebounds, and two steals as the Kings beat the Rockets 126-114.
There was a report that came out on Friday from Chris Haynes of Yahoo! sports that said that the Kings have been receiving interest in Fox on the trade market.
Fox came out and looked extra motivated on Friday night, and led the Kings to their second straight win. Fox has been on a tear recently and has scored at least 24 points in six of eight games this month.
It doesn’t seem like the trade rumors are bothering Fox, so expect him to keep on rolling.
Sources: Sacramento Kings receiving high interest in De’Aaron Fox with trade deadline approaching. Fox talks to @YahooSports about his struggles, an ideal role and being moved: “You definitely think about potentially being traded because we’re struggling.” https://t.co/oakjXunjk0
