Impact Achiuwa recorded his third double-double of the campaign and notched a season-high 20 points, helping the Kings pick up their third straight win. Achiuwa has been hit-or-miss as a fantasy asset, posting averages of 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 23.8 minutes over his last eight appearances.

Back in starting lineup Sunday Achiuwa is in the Kings' starting lineup against the Rockets on Sunday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Achiuwa came off the bench against the Warriors on Friday and played just five minutes, but he'll return to the starting lineup Sunday in place of Keon Ellis. Achiuwa has averaged 5.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 17.8 minutes per game over his last 12 outings.

Headed to bench Achiuwa will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Warriors, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Achiuwa will be replaced by Keon Ellis in the first unit for Friday's game, as the Kings go with a small-ball approach to combat the Warriors. As a member of the second unit this season, Achiuwa has posted averages of 7.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 19.1 minutes per game.

Re-enters starting lineup in loss Achiuwa provided nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Achiuwa will probably remain with the first unit, as Keegan Murray's recent ankle injury will put him out of action for the remainder of the month. It now appears that Domantas Sabonis (knee) will be back before Murray, and it will be interesting to see what the Kings do with the combo of Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud when he returns.

Offers nothing in loss Achiuwa ended with three points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 19 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to the Suns.

Impact Achiuwa failed to score more than five points for the fourth time in the past five games. Although he has been a consistent part of the rotation, Achiuwa typically offers very little outside of sporadic rebounding numbers. With that said, Maxime Raynaud suffered a knee injury, something that could cause him to miss time moving forward. If that is the case, Sacramento could be forced to give even more minutes to Achiuwa.

Totals 14 points in loss Achiuwa recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 22 minutes during Thursday's 120-106 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Achiuwa was far more aggressive on the offensive end after being shut out Tuesday against the Clippers, scoring in double figures for just the fifth time since Dec. 1. He looked sharp from deep, drilling multiple treys in a game for the second time in 27 games this season. Achiuwa is averaging 6.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals in his last eight games, all as a starter.

Precious Achiuwa played his game against the Pistons (and fans are here for it) Precious Achiuwa is the defensive player the Sacramento Kings need, now and heading into the rebuild.

Bounces back with double-double Achiuwa racked up 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 136-127 loss to the Pistons.

Impact The Kings have stuck with Achiuwa in the starting five, and Keegan Murray's (calf) premature exit padded the big man's bottom line in the loss. The Kings have tried to patch the gap left by Domantas Sabonis (knee) with mixed success, but the combo of Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud has been somewhat effective. If Murray is held out for additional games, we may see a similar spike in Achiuwa's production as 2025 comes to a close.

Starting Thursday Achiuwa is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game in Portland, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Achiuwa will get the start with Zach LaVine (ankle) out and he'll be joined in the first unit by Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, Maxime Raynaud and Keegan Murray. Over six starts this season, Achiuwa has posted averages of 8.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.

Perfect from field Sunday Achiuwa contributed 17 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 117-103 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Achiuwa was perfect from the field in this game and only missed two of his four shots from the charity stripe. The veteran big man is making the most of his chances in recent weeks and has scored in double digits in six of his previous nine appearances, averaging 9.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks off the bench over that span.

Precious Achiuwa has one job to do (and Kings' fans are happy he's doing it) Precious Achiuwa has been successful in raising the defensive presence of the Sacramento Kings to an extent.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • AROYALPAIN.COM

Blocks two shots in loss Achiuwa notched 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 116-105 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Achiuwa has been one of the more important players off the bench for Sacramento, averaging 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks across 22.8 minutes in the eight games since being relegated to the second unit. Achiuwa also led all bench players in every major stat and figures to continue coming off the bench backing up Maxime Raynaud.

Drops 10 points in loss Achiuwa ended Wednesday's 121-95 loss to Houston with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 19 minutes.

Impact Achiuwa has now scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances, averaging 9.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks across 24.2 minutes in that span. He is an intriguing add in deeper leagues, especially while Domantas Sabonis (knee) remains sidelined, but the emergence of Maxime Raynaud may potentially eat into Achiuwa's minutes.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 14 points off bench in loss Achiuwa closed with 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 112-100 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Although Drew Eubanks logged nine rebounds in limited action, Achiuwa played 11 more minutes and finished with a much higher point total. Eubankas hasn't been an effective answer for Domantas Sabonis' (knee) absence, and it wouldn't be surprising to see a first-unit switch between Eubanks and Achiuwa in the near future.

NOVEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Achiuwa will come off the bench for Saturday's game in Denver, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact With Domantas Sabonis (knee) out, Achiuwa should still be able to flirt with close to 20 minutes in the reserve role, but he's a less enticing fantasy option as a member of the second unit. Achiuwa is averaging 6.4 points and 4.8 rebounds for the Kings this season.

Kings finally getting the Precious Achiuwa they signed (and fans should be excited) Precious Achiuwa is finding his rhythm with the Sacramento Kings, and he could change their game dramatically.

Just misses double-double Wednesday Achiuwa totaled 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 113-99 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact The 26-year-old forward just missed collecting his second double-double of the season in eight games while setting a new season scoring high. Achiuwa has been productive since joining the Kings, averaging 9.4 points, 6.0 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.6 minutes over five starts, but he'll likely shift back to the bench once Keegan Murray (thumb) is cleared to make his season debut, which is expected to happen Thursday against the Grizzlies.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Achiuwa (illness) will come off the bench Sunday against the Spurs, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Impact Achiuwa shook off a questionable tag for this game, but the Kings will make another rotation tweak as they desperately try to turn their season around. Keon Ellis will join the starting five in Achiuwa's place, with the team going with a much smaller and faster look.
