Sixers’ late collapse sealed by Gordon buzzer-beating 3

The Houston Rockets’ potential level of interest in pursuing a trade for De’Aaron Fox is unclear. While Fox is on a similar timetable as the Rockets’ young core and is a native of Houston, their interest isn’t considered automatic.

The Rockets have maintained that they don’t want to make an in-season trade of significance. Houston’s front office likes how their current roster is developing and they are ahead of schedule as they sit third in the Western Conference.

Houston previously had strong interest in a trade for Donovan Mitchell before he committed to the Cavaliers with an extension. The Sacramento Kings are in a similar position with Fox where they are considered likely to trade him in the offseason if he doesn’t commit to an extension.
