The San Antonio Spurs have registered interest in both Darius Garland and LaMelo Ball during previous transaction cycles, sources tell Jake Fischer. San Antonio is now linked to De'Aaron Fox, who has identified them as his preferred destination.
The Spurs called the Cleveland Cavaliers last June on Garland when they still owned the No. 4 and No. 8 pick in the draft. The Cavaliers did not reciprocate much interest in discussing a Garland trade at that time.
The Charlotte Hornets similarly never invited trade inquiries on Ball, who is having a bounce back 24-25 season.
The Spurs have also had some level of interest in Josh Giddey as they look for a playmaker to pair with Victor Wembanyama.
