==Professional gaming==
{{main|Echo Fox}}
In 2015, Fox and partner Amit Raizada acquired professional ''[[League of Legends]]'' team [[Gravity Gaming]] of the [[North American League of Legends Championship Series]], re-branding it to Echo Fox.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-12-18/former-nba-player-rick-fox-buys-esports-team-gravity |title=Former NBA Player Rick Fox Buys eSports Team Gravity |first=Scott |last=Soshnick |website=[[Bloomberg News]]|date=December 18, 2015 |access-date=December 18, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Fox |first=Rick |date=February 20, 2017 |title=The Business of Gaming |url=https://www.theplayerstribune.com/articles/rick-fox-team-echofox-business-of-gaming |work=The Players' Tribune}}</ref>

In April 2019 Echo Fox confirmed to ESPN<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.espn.com/gaming/story/_/id/26605177/echo-fox-confirms-investor-used-racial-epithets-rick-fox| title=Echo Fox confirms investor used racial epithets toward Rick Fox| date=April 25, 2019| website=ESPN| access-date=February 7, 2025}}</ref> that Amit Raizada, one of its co-founders, had used racist language multiple times, including in a confrontation with Fox.

In response, Riot Games, which operates the LCS, launched an investigation. It ordered Echo Fox to remove Razaida, or it would have to sell its spot in the LCS within 60 days, saying "hate speech, threats, and bigotry have no place in the LCS." Riot Games came up with an agreement to end Echo Fox's participation in the LCS, eventually resulting in Evil Geniuses acquiring the team's spot. With Echo Fox unable to remove Razaida, Fox notified Echo Fox shareholders that he would be exiting the organization as soon as he could facilitate a transaction. In an email, obtained by Dexerto,<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/echo-fox-owner-rick-fox-235058903.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall| title=Echo Fox Owner Rick Fox to Leave Organization Over Racism (Report)| first=Stephanie| last=Fogel| date=April 25, 2019| magazine=Variety| via=Yahoo Entertainment| access-date=February 7, 2025}}</ref> Fox said: "the recent outrageous and abhorrent display of pure racism made by a significant Echo Fox shareholder as well as threats to my family have made it impossible for me to continue remain associated with the company."

In a statement<ref name="s953">{{cite web| last=Wolf| first=Jacob| title=Settlement agreement reached between Rick Fox, Vision Esports| website=ESPN| date=2019-10-22| url=https://www.espn.com/gaming/story/_/id/27902761/settlement-agreement-reached-rick-fox-vision-esports| access-date=2024-11-27| df=mdy-all}}</ref> in November 2019, Fox confirmed he had left the organization. "On the [basketball] court and in the business world, teammates are everything and there must be unity and a shared sense of purpose in order to succeed. In the case of Echo Fox, the significant difference of values, ethics and commitment to integrity was very problematic and damaging", Fox said.

==Personal life==
Fox has a son with Kari Hillsman, a woman he dated while playing basketball for the Boston Celtics.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_20_96/ai_57041239/ |magazine=[[Jet (magazine)|Jet]] |title=Vanessa L.
