Free agent center Precious Achiuwa has agreed to join the Sacramento Kings, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The Kings plan to waive second-year center Isaac Jones to create a roster spot for Achiuwa.
Achiuwa enters his sixth NBA season. Originally selected 20th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Miami Heat, he was waived by Miami before the 2025–26 season. Over five seasons, he has played for the Heat, Toronto Raptors, and New York Knicks.
Several EuroLeague teams had also shown interest in the 26-year-old, as reported by Donatas Urbonas of BasketNews.
Isaac Jones, 25, is expected to be waived by the Kings to clear space for Achiuwa. Jones is in his second NBA season, averaging 1.0 points and 0.7 rebounds in 5.7 minutes per game.
