Logs 22 minutes in loss Plowden closed with eight points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes during Sunday's 122-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Plowden carved out a decent role for himself down the stretch once the Kings waved the white towel on their season. The rookie ended up with 32 appearances and averages of 10.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes per contest.

Just misses double-double in win Plowden had 20 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 124-118 victory over the Warriors.
Impact The 27-year-old forward just missed recording his first career double-double in his 37th NBA game. Plowden has taken advantage of his opportunity with the Kings over the last month-plus, scoring in double digits in 15 of his last 16 games while averaging 14.6 points, 3.3 boards, 2.8 threes, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.9 minutes a contest.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Daeqwon Plowden's clutch play proved he has earned a spot on the Kings The Sacramento Kings beat the Pelicans in part thanks to the clutch play of Daeqwon Plowden, who has earned a permanent spot on the roster.
APRIL 5 • AROYALPAIN.COM
Hits for 17 points from bench Plowden racked up 17 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 117-113 victory over New Orleans.
Impact Plowden has been with the parent club since late January. Although his numbers have jumped around a bit, his steady involvement has made a case for a roster spot with the 2026-27 edition of the Kings. After failing to catch on with the Hawks during his rookie season, Plowden has a better spot to continue his career with the injury-riddled Kings. The team is running with a shallow rotation as the season draws to a close, so Plowden's minutes should remain consistent through the final two weeks.

Back to bench Wednesday Plowden is not in the Kings' starting lineup against the Raptors on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Plowden made a spot start against the Nets on Sunday due to the absence of DeMar DeRozan (hamstring), but the former didn't make much of an impact in 26 minutes of play, finishing with two points (1-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in a 116-99 loss. With DeRozan back in action, Plowden will retreat to the bench for Wednesday's road tilt.
APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sets new season-high scoring mark Plowden notched 23 points (8-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.
Impact Plowden had established a season-high 22 points in the loss to the Hornets on Tuesday, and he surpassed that mark in the very next game. Even though the former Bowling Green standout is regularly coming off the bench, he's proven he belongs as a natural scorer in the NBA. Plowden has now scored in double digits in nine games in a row (two starts) and has also reached the 20-point plateau in each of the last three.

Impact Plowden returned after a one-game absence (foot), leading the Kings with a season-high 22 points. Sacramento had just eight available players, ensuring meaningful minutes for everyone. Plowden has now scored double digits in eight straight appearances, while also logging double-digit minutes in seven of the eight games. Given all the shenanigans in Sacramento right now, Plowden appears to be relatively trustworthy when available to play.
