Report: Sacramento Kings Eyeing Free Agent Precious Achiuwa
The Sacramento Kings are exploring the possibility of signing free agent center Precious Achiuwa, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.
Team Needs and Player Profile
The Kings face a significant issue with their size, ranking last in the NBA for rebounds per game (37.5) as of early November 2025. This challenge is intensified by the absence of starting forward Keegan Murray, who is sidelined recovering from wrist surgery.
Precious Achiuwa, 26, is a seasoned big man who played for the New York Knicks during the 2024-25 season. He has established himself as a reliable rebounder over his five-year NBA career, fitting Sacramento’s current needs.
Potential Roster Changes
Signing Achiuwa would require the Kings to make a corresponding roster move, as the team currently holds 15 players under standard contracts.
- Russell Westbrook’s contract for the season is not fully guaranteed, yet he has performed well since joining the Kings.
- Other players possibly on the move include second-year forward Issac Jones (non-guaranteed deal), forward Dario Saric, and wing Doug McDermott.
The Sacramento Kings are looking at bringing in veteran center Precious Achiuwa, according to league sources.
Summary
The Kings’ pursuit of Precious Achiuwa reflects their urgent need to improve their rebounding and overall frontcourt depth amid injuries and roster limitations.
