Loaded stat line in season finale Raynaud provided 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 122-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Raynaud was one of the most productive rookies in the 2025-26 NBA season despite being a second-round pick, as the former Stanford star grabbed a starting role once Domantas Sabonis (knee) was ruled out for the rest of the season and produced impressive numbers. Raynaud finished his first year in The Association with averages of 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks per game while starting in 56 of his 74 regular-season appearances and logging 26.6 minutes per game. Raynaud also recorded 18 double-doubles and shot 57.1 percent from the floor, as well as 32.4 percent from three-point range.

Strikes for 23 in Friday's win Raynaud finished with 23 points (9-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 124-118 win over Golden State.

Impact The rookie center just missed his 19th double-double as he has a strong close to the campaign. Raynaud has scored in double digits in 11 of the last 12 games, averaging 18.8 points, 8.6 boards, 1.9 assists and 0.8 threes while shooting 57.2 percent from the floor and 43.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Double-double against Clippers Raynaud notched 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 138-109 loss to the Clippers.

Impact It was the 18th double-double of the season for Raynaud, who continues to be productive in a Kings frontcourt missing Domantas Sabonis (knee), Keegan Murray (ankle) and others. The rookie center's 15 boards represented his best showing on the glass since he pulled down 19 against the pelicans on Feb. 9, and he's scored in double digits in nine of the last 10 games, averaging 18.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 threes and 1.1 combined steals and blocks over that span while shooting 56.3 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent (8-from-18) from downtown.

Shiines with 28 points in victory Raynaud had 28 points (11-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 117-113 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Raynaud's rookie efforts have transformed the future of the Kings' frontcourt. The center will likely headline a youth-based rebuild of the team. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Kings unload Domantas Sabonis to clear some cap room in the offseason, as Raynaud's stellar campaign has made him expendable. Raynaud was one rebound shy of hitting his 18th double-double of the season during the win.

Double-doubles vs. Atlanta Raynaud logged 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during the Kings' 123-113 loss to the Hawks on Saturday.

Impact Raynaud scored seven of his 18 points in the first quarter and finished as the Kings' second-leading scorer behind DeMar DeRozan (22 points) while posting his 17th double-double of the season. It was the fourth time this season that Raynaud connected on at least two threes, with three of those games occurring within his last six outings. The rookie second-rounder has averaged 18.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks over 33.1 minutes per game since March 1. Raynaud is establishing himself as a long-term piece for the Kings, which might give the franchise something to think about when it comes to the future of Domantas Sabonis (knee).

Leaves mark at both ends Raynaud notched 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.

Impact The rookie out of Stanford took a step back from his recent performances, and this was his lowest scoring output over his last five appearances. The big man is firmly entrenched as a starter since Domantas Sabonis (knee) is out for the season, and he's making the most of the opportunity. He has scored in double digits in all but two of his 18 games since the All-Star break while posting seven double-doubles in that span.
