Sacramento Kings guard Keon Ellis is one of the hottest names on the trade market, and several teams have inquired about him.
Kings reporter James Ham said Tuesday that the Knicks, Celtics, Timberwolves and Pacers are interested in Ellis.
Ellis' numbers are down this season, as he's averaging 5.5 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists. He's shooting 39.2% from the field and 36.4% from three.
He had a bigger role for the Kings last season, making 28 starts in 24.4 minutes per game. He averaged 8.3 points, 1.5 assists and shot a career-high 43.3% from deep.

The Lakers, Sixers, Pistons, Raptors and Warriors are among the other suitors for Ellis, who is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. His $2.3 million contract would be affordable for almost any team.
His best performance this season came on Dec. 27 against the Dallas Mavericks. He scored 21 points and shot 5/10 from three in 32 minutes.
Ellis has been a reliable 3-point shooter throughout his four NBA seasons. He's a career 41.5% shooter from deep who's shot over 40% in two seasons.
He has been on the trade block since the Kings declined to extend him last offseason. The Kings are reportedly seeking a first-round pick for Ellis.
Ellis went undrafted out of Alabama in the 2022 NBA Draft. He signed a two-way contract with Sacramento and worked his way into their rotation. He's averaged 6.3 points, 1.2 assists and shot 46% from the field in his career.
It remains to be seen if a team will be able to pry him from the Kings, who are 12-35 and 14th in the Western Conference.
