De'Aaron Fox officially joins San Antonio Spurs

The NBA's trade weekend saw another deal involving a top player, with De'Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings being traded to the San Antonio Spurs.

The 27-year-old Fox was selected by the Sacramento Kings in 2017 and has been playing for the team ever since. This season, Fox averaged 25 points, 6.1 assists and 5 rebounds per game for the Sacramento Kings.

Fox's outstanding performance made him selected to the NBA All-Star and All-NBA Team. Now in his eighth season in the NBA, he will usher in a new beginning with the San Antonio Spurs. For Fox, joining the San Antonio Spurs is very attractive.

That's because the San Antonio Spurs have an excellent defensive player in Wen Banyama, who will make his All-Star debut this month. Fox, a point guard, can pair up with Wen Banyama, a 2.24-meter center, to become a presence that few teams can effectively defend.

The San Antonio Spurs updated their roster on Monday night, and Fox finally wore jersey No. 4. The soonest Fox could play is against the Atlanta Hawks, as Fox's physical has been completed and he should be clear to play at any time.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson was very happy about Fox's joining, saying: "His joining will make our lineup more dynamic. We look forward to him integrating into the team and continuing to grow together, and strive to make the players cooperate with each other and realize their greatest potential."
