The news out of Sacramento regarding the Kings opening up trade talks for De’Aaron Fox has been surprising and fast in progression. It’s an even more interesting turn of events considering the Kings much-improved play of late following Mike Brown’s departure and Doug Christie‘s promotion.

About 30 minutes before the Golden State Warriors tipped off against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, Draymond Green found time to do Draymond Green things, sending out what is surely meant to be a constructive message to New York Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns.

Here are three things to watch in Wednesday’s game. The Warriors will be missing Green (left calf strain), Kuminga (right ankle sprain), Brandin Podziemski (right abdominal injury management) and Kyle Anderson (left gluteal bursitis).

Following their miserable 125-85 loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday, the Golden State Warriors need a bounce-back victory. However, Wednesday's contest against the Sacramento Kings is anything but easy, as the road team isn't as healthy as the Golden 1 Center host. The Warriors vs. Kings injury report reveals a banged-up road team.

"JUST IN: The Sacramento Kings are expected to open up talks to potentially deal All-Star De'Aaron Fox ahead of Feb. 6 trade deadline, sources tell ESPN," shared ESPN's Shams Charania via Twitter/X on Tuesday afternoon.

After recent trade reports Fox could leave the Sacramento Kings, many fans and his wife, Recee, have joined the conversation on social media.

Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga have received promising injury updates that could provide the Warriors with much-needed reinforcements.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Kings are expected to open talks for All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox ahead of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline. The San Antonio Spurs have been rumored as a preferred destination for Fox with significant mutual interest from both sides, according to Forbes NBA reporter Evan Sidery.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green expressed his support of Sacramento interim coach Doug Christie amid Kings' turnaround.

De'Aaron Fox reportedly hitting the open market opens up significant opportunities for several blockbuster deals to close before the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline.

The Golden State Warriors will be without four key players when they square off against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
