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. The team is addressing its size disadvantage, with general manager Scott Perry reportedly exploring options.
Precious Achiuwa, 26, most recently played for the New York Knicks during the 2024-25 season. He has been a consistent rebounder over his five-year NBA career, a quality the Kings urgently need.
Currently, Sacramento ranks last in the NBA in rebounds per game (37.5). This struggle is compounded by the absence of starting forward Keegan Murray, who is recovering from wrist surgery.

If signed, the Kings will need to make a roster move to stay within the 15-player limit on standard contracts. Russell Westbrook’s contract this season isn’t fully guaranteed, but he has performed well so far.
Other players who might be released to make room for Achiuwa include second-year forward Issac Jones (on a non-guaranteed contract), forward Dario Saric, and wing Doug McDermott.
Summary
The Sacramento Kings aim to strengthen their lineup by targeting free agent center Precious Achiuwa to improve rebounding and size issues.
