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, known for their lack of size, may have a plan to address this problem.

Team Needs and Player Profile

General manager Scott Perry is reportedly interested in adding Achiuwa, a 26-year-old veteran big man who played for the New York Knicks in the 2024–25 season. Achiuwa is recognized for his rebounding ability throughout his five-year NBA career, a skill the Kings urgently need.

Current Team Challenges

Sacramento ranks last in the NBA for rebounds per game (37.5) as of the start of November 2025. The team is also navigating the absence of starting forward Keegan Murray, who is recovering from wrist surgery.

Roster Implications

If the Kings proceed with signing Achiuwa, a roster move will be necessary since they currently have 15 players on standard contracts. Possible candidates to be waived or moved include second-year forward Issac Jones (on a non-guaranteed deal), forward Dario Saric, and wing Doug McDermott.

Russell Westbrook’s contract is not fully guaranteed, but he has delivered strong performances early during his tenure with the Kings.

Summary

The Kings are actively exploring options to bolster their rebounding by pursuing 26-year-old center Precious Achiuwa, highlighting their urgent need to improve inside presence and team size.
