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.
Current Team Challenges
The Kings face a significant size disadvantage. General Manager Scott Perry is reportedly working on a solution to strengthen the team's frontcourt.
Interest in Precious Achiuwa
Achiuwa, 26, is a veteran big man who played with the New York Knicks during the 2024-25 season. Known for his solid rebounding, he fits the needs of the Kings, who rank last in rebounds per game (37.5) as of early November 2025. The team's rebounding struggles are intensified by the absence of starting forward Keegan Murray, who is recovering from wrist surgery.
The Sacramento Kings are looking at bringing in veteran center Precious Achiuwa, according to league sources.

Roster Implications
If signed, the Kings would need to make a roster move since they currently have 15 players on standard contracts. Russell Westbrook’s contract for this season isn’t fully guaranteed; Westbrook has performed well early in his time with Sacramento.
- Potential players who could be moved include second-year forward Issac Jones (non-guaranteed deal), forward Dario Saric, and wing Doug McDermott.
This move aims to address Sacramento's rebounding issues and add veteran presence to the team.
“It’s no secret that the Sacramento Kings are severely undersized, but general manager Scott Perry apparently has something in the works to address that issue.”
