Team Context and Needs

The Kings are known to be severely undersized, and General Manager Scott Perry is reportedly working on addressing this issue. Sacramento currently ranks last in the NBA for rebounds per game (37.5), particularly as they navigate the absence of starter Keegan Murray due to wrist surgery recovery.

Player Profile: Precious Achiuwa

Achiuwa, 26, played most recently for the New York Knicks during the 2024-25 season. With five years of NBA experience, he is recognized for his rebounding ability, aligning with the Kings’ roster needs.

Roster Implications

Sacramento has 15 players under standard contracts and would need to make a corresponding move if Achiuwa joins.
Key players who could become expendable include Dario Saric, Doug McDermott, and second-year forward Issac Jones (on a non-guaranteed deal).
Russell Westbrook's deal isn't fully guaranteed, and he has been performing well in his starting role.
