Report: Sacramento Kings Eyeing Free Agent Precious Achiuwa

The Sacramento Kings are considering signing free agent center Precious Achiuwa, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.

Team Needs and Player Profile

The Kings are currently one of the smallest teams in the league, prompting general manager Scott Perry to explore options to strengthen the roster. Achiuwa, 26, is a veteran big man who most recently played for the New York Knicks during the 2024-25 season. Known for his solid rebounding skills over a five-year career, he fits the Kings’ need for improved rebounding.

Rebounding Challenges

Sacramento ranks last in the NBA in rebounds per game (37.5) as it starts the season without starting forward Keegan Murray, who is recovering from wrist surgery.

Roster Implications

Signing Achiuwa would require a roster adjustment since the Kings currently hold 15 players on standard contracts. Russell Westbrook’s contract for this season isn’t fully guaranteed but he has played well early in his time with Sacramento. Other players who might be moved to accommodate Achiuwa include second-year forward Issac Jones (non-guaranteed), forward Dario Saric, and wing Doug McDermott.

Author's summary: The Kings aim to address their rebounding struggles by targeting free agent center Precious Achiuwa, likely making difficult roster decisions to bring him on board.
