De'Aaron Fox Declines $165M Kings Extension to Pursue Bigger Deal

The Sacramento Kings star aims for a larger contract next summer, potentially reaching up to $345 million if he achieves All-NBA status.

De'Aaron Fox is bypassing a three-year, $165 million extension to potentially secure a more lucrative deal in 2025.
If Fox makes an All-NBA team this season, he could be eligible for a five-year, $345 million supermax contract.
Fox has expressed his desire to remain with the Kings long-term and has been involved in major team decisions.
The Kings recently made significant roster moves, including acquiring All-Star DeMar DeRozan, to strengthen their team.
Fox, 26, is under contract through the 2025-26 season and will earn nearly $35 million this year.
