The Sacramento Kings’ De’Aaron Fox is extension eligible this summer and could sign a three-year, $165 million extension to be tacked onto the $71.9 million he is owed the next two years. In a move that should surprise nobody, he is turning that offer to sign a much larger extension next summer, something ESPN’s Shams Charania reported.

The Sacramento Kings have seemingly known for some time that De'Aaron Fox was unlikely to sign a contract extension this offseason. All the way back in June, The Athletic reported that Fox wanted to see how the Kings managed their roster over the summer before making a commitment.

The Kings made another move to give the team more roster flexibility with the start of the new season just days away.
