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 Kings, currently struggling with size, may look to boost their roster with the veteran big man who played for the New York Knicks in the 2024-25 season.

Team Needs and Player Profile

General Manager Scott Perry is exploring options to address Sacramento’s low rebounding numbers. Achiuwa, 26, is known for his solid rebounding skills, which aligns with the Kings' needs. The team ranks last in the NBA for rebounds per game (37.5) as they work through the early season without starting forward Keegan Murray, who is recovering from wrist surgery.

Potential Roster Changes

If signed, the Kings would need to make a roster move to accommodate Achiuwa, as they currently have 15 players under standard contracts. Russell Westbrook’s contract this season is not fully guaranteed, but he has shown strong performances since joining the Kings.

Issac Jones, a second-year forward, is on a non-guaranteed deal.
Forwards Dario Saric and wing Doug McDermott might also be expendable if Achiuwa is signed.

Summary

The Sacramento Kings are targeting veteran center Precious Achiuwa to improve their rebounding, which is currently a major weakness, and may need roster adjustments to finalize the signing.
