Sources: Suns to waive Korver after Jackson deal

As the February 6th NBA trade deadline approaches, the New Orleans Pelicans are prioritizing a trade of Brandon Ingram, sources tell ESPN. Ingram and the Pelicans have discussed an extension, but those talks have repeatedly been unable to gain traction. Ingram will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason if he doesn’t sign an extension.

Ingram left Excel Sports in November and has since signed with Klutch Sports as his representation. Earlier this month, it was reported that the Pelicans had interest in signing Ingram to an extension worth approximately $40 million per season.

In 18 games this season, Ingram is averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 33.1 minutes. Ingram is a one-time All-Star, making the team during the 19-20 season when he first joined the Pelicans from the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz are among the teams previously linked with Ingram.

The Sacramento Kings are expected to open trade talks on a De’Aaron Fox deal ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline. While there are expected to be a number of teams interested, Fox is believed to already have a team in mind ahead of his 2026 free agency.

Before the start of the season, Fox turned down a three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Kings. Fox went on to say that he loves Sacramento, but also “wants to win.”

In December, agent Rich Paul met with the Kings’ brass in Sacramento, which opened up questions about Fox’s future. The Kings went on to part ways with Mike Brown as head coach and elevated Doug Christie as interim head coach.

The San Antonio Spurs are considered one of the teams positioning to trade for Fox, according to previous reports. The Los Angeles Lakers are not Fox’s preferred trade destination.

Fox is averaging 25.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 37.2 minutes across 43 games this season for the Kings. Fox has made one All-Star team and one All-NBA team, which both occurred in 2023.
