The Sacramento Kings traded De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin to the San Antonio Spurs in a three-team deal involving the Chicago Bulls, the teams confirmed Monday.

Sacramento received Zach LaVine, Sidy Cissoko, three first-rounders, and three second-round picks as part of the blockbuster trade. Chicago acquired Zach Collins, Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter, and its own 2025 first-round pick via the Spurs.

The Bulls' reacquired draft selection is top-10 protected, according to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.

Fox gives the Spurs a long-term solution at the point. The Kentucky product is averaging 25 points, 6.1 assists, five boards, and 1.5 steals across 45 appearances this season.

The 27-year-old is under contract through the 2025-26 season. He's renegotiation and extension eligible in August, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.

LaVine, 29, reunites with former Bulls backcourt mate DeMar DeRozan. The two-time All-Star guard is having a resurgent campaign, tallying 24 points, 4.8 boards, and 4.5 assists per contest over 42 appearances.

LaVine's also under contract through next season, but he holds a $49-million player option for 2026-27.

Huerter's minutes have gradually decreased since averaging a personal-best 15.2 points per game in his first campaign with the Kings. The 6-foot-7 guard is registering career lows in both points (7.9) and 3-point percentage (30.2%) through 43 appearances in 2024-25.
