Sacramento Kings Eye Free Agent Precious Achiuwa
According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Sacramento Kings are considering signing free agent center Precious Achiuwa. The move comes as the team looks to address its lack of size, a persistent issue highlighted by their league-worst rebounding average of 37.5 per game this season.
Achiuwa, 26, has built a reputation as a reliable rebounder over his five-year NBA career. Most recently, he played for the New York Knicks during the 2024-25 season. His experience and skill set align with Sacramento’s current needs, especially as the team begins the season without starting forward Keegan Murray, who is recovering from wrist surgery.

If Sacramento signs Achiuwa, a roster adjustment will be necessary, as the team currently has 15 players under standard contracts. Russell Westbrook’s deal for this season is not fully guaranteed, but he has performed well since joining the Kings. Other players with non-guaranteed deals, such as second-year forward Issac Jones, Dario Saric, and Doug McDermott, could also be affected by a potential signing.
Bringing in Achiuwa could help the Kings bolster their frontcourt and improve their rebounding, but it would require careful roster management to accommodate the new addition.
