Report: Sacramento Kings Eye Precious Achiuwa in Free Agency
The Sacramento Kings are reportedly considering signing free agent center Precious Achiuwa, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer. The team’s general manager, Scott Perry, appears to be exploring ways to address the roster’s lack of size.
Achiuwa, 26, most recently played for the New York Knicks during the 2024–25 season. Known for his rebounding abilities, he has earned a reputation as a reliable presence in the paint during his five years in the league. His profile fits well with Sacramento’s current needs.
The Kings rank last in the NBA in rebounds per game (37.5) as they begin the season without starting forward Keegan Murray, who is recovering from wrist surgery. Bringing in Achiuwa could help balance the team’s rebounding woes.

If Sacramento decides to add Achiuwa, the team would need a corresponding roster adjustment, as it already has 15 players under standard contracts. While Russell Westbrook’s contract this season isn’t fully guaranteed, he has performed well for the Kings so far. Players such as Issac Jones, Dario Saric, and Doug McDermott could also become candidates to be moved if Achiuwa joins the roster.
Author Summary
The Kings are weighing a roster move to sign Precious Achiuwa, aiming to strengthen their rebounding and frontcourt presence amid Keegan Murray’s recovery.
