The most significant events in basketball don’t always occur on the court. The last buzzer had gone off. The Sacramento Kings’ matchup with the San Antonio Spurs was over. However, one couldn’t be more mistaken if they believed that was where the action ended.
The true drama was only beginning. After the game, fans spotted Kings star Malik Monk and former Kings player De’Aaron Fox‘s wife, Recee Fox, arguing courtside.
According to multiple eyewitnesses, things quickly became intense. Voices were raised, and emotions ran high, and all of a sudden, what should have been another NBA night became the buzz of the town. According to reports, one of the main reasons this could have occurred was due to Fox’s departure from the Kings to the San Antonio Spurs during the Trade market deadline.

The incident involving Fox’s wife and Malik Monk is a sign of something much more serious than merely off-court controversy. There is still friction in the Kings’ locker room. Fox’s exit altered the dynamic as a whole, not simply the roster. The Kings must now determine if they can maintain their unity.
It was unrelated to highlights, rebounds, or points. Also, it has nothing to do with basketball statistics. It has to do with something far larger. Fans were astonished, the locker room was rocked, and the Kings’ future appeared more unclear than ever as a result of something that happened.
De’Aaron Fox and Recee Fox: Everything about the NBA couple
De’Aaron Fox’s wife, Recee, is making rounds on the internet lately. Now, let us take a broader view into the couple’s life. Recee is a former basketball player and has been playing the sport ever since she was 10 years old. Alongside current WNBA stars Brianna Turner and Jordin Canada, she participated in the 2014 McDonald’s All-American game and won gold twice at the FIBA World Championships (U-16 and U-18).
Throughout the 2018 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Recee got to know her future husband, De’Aaron. At the time, she was an intern with the Washington Wizards. She also interned at the Golden State Warriors.
2 years later, Recee accepted De’Aaron’s proposal on a beach in September 2020. In August 2022, the pair got married in Malibu, California. The couple also has 2 beautiful children: a son and a daughter.
Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox’s beef
Once best friends, now strangers, Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox are at a crossroads in their friendship. This was ever since Fox decided to move to the San Antonio Spurs. Monk made his feelings known a few weeks before regarding Fox’s trade.
Fox and Monk have a long history together. This tension in the locker room is not sporadic. Before they were teammates in the NBA, they were brothers. Together, they dominated collegiate basketball while playing at Kentucky, and they always envisioned dominating the league. However, it is not the same anymore.
It was crazy because he was one of the reasons I came here for sure, but yeah we’ve got to move on. I know it’s a business. By the looks of it, they say he wanted to be out of here, so he got what he wanted.

Monk stated that he had not spoken to Fox since the deal and that he had not discussed the move with him during the process. Given that, it’s a significant shift for Monk to lose the primary reason he signed with Sacramento, leading to their strained relationship.
