Precious Achiuwa News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Big night on glass in loss Achiuwa produced seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block across 36 minutes during Sunday's 114-108 loss to Miami.

Impact The 14 boards led all players on the night, but the Kings didn't give enough offensive support to rookie Darius Acuff and his game-high 32 points to actually secure a win. Achiuwa has started eight straight games, averaging 9.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.5 minutes, but he figures to return to the bench fairly soon with Keegan Murray back in the lineup Sunday, and Domantas Sabonis (knee) not expected to miss much time.

Good to go Wednesday Achiuwa (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Achiuwa was previously listed as probable for the Kings, but he will push through his ankle soreness Wednesday. He's off to a great start this season with averages of 11.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.0 blocks over 28.6 minutes per contest.

Likely good to go Wednesday Achiuwa (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Achiuwa is currently bothered by left ankle soreness, though it doesn't appear as if it will be enough to keep him off the floor against Los Angeles. The 27-year-old has played well in his seven regular-season appearances in 2026-27, averaging 11.6 points and 1.9 steals, both career highs, along with 6.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks over 28.6 minutes per contest.

Strong effort on glass Achiuwa notched six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 115-100 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Achiuwa made his presence felt without requiring many offensive touches, leading Sacramento in rebounds while contributing four combined steals and blocks. He played alongside Domantas Sabonis in the starting lineup, giving the Kings additional size and defensive versatility. Achiuwa's ability to contribute rebounds and defensive stats gives him some appeal in category leagues, even with limited scoring opportunities.

Swats two shots vs. Memphis Achiuwa registered six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 136-105 loss to Memphis.

Impact Achiuwa was the only Kings starter who failed to score in double digits, but he contributed on the defensive end of the floor with three stocks. He has started in each of the Kings' last four games, and he'll continue to be in the starting five for as long as Keegan Murray (ankle) is out of action. Achiuwa is averaging 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over 28.7 minutes per game this season.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 24 points Thursday Achiuwa posted 24 points (12-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and four steals across 41 minutes in Thursday's 132-120 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Achiuwa delivered his strongest scoring performance of the young season, converting 70.6 percent of his field-goal attempts while narrowly missing a double-double. His four steals further enhanced his fantasy output, and the heavy workload was particularly encouraging. Achiuwa has started the Kings' last three games and is averaging 13.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game as part of the first unit. He has scored in double digits in all but one of his five outings so far, and he's clearly exceeding expectations while making the most of his expanded role with Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined.

Plummets back to earth in loss Achiuwa notched four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in 13 minutes during Tuesday's 130-103 loss to the Spurs.

Impact After a strong start to the season, Achiuwa came crashing back to earth, turning in easily his worst performance thus far. To this point, his playing time has been wildly inconsistent, a theme that could certainly hold true moving forward. Through four appearances, he is averaging 11.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 26.8 minutes per game.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double in loss Achiuwa notched 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two steals and three blocks across 38 minutes in Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Achiuwa recorded a double-double while adding five combined steals and blocks, delivering valuable fantasy production despite an abysmal free-throw performance. His 38-minute workload was encouraging, though it was a direct consequence of Keegan Murray (ankle) being unavailable. Achiuwa is a player to keep close tabs on due to his per-minute production, efficient shooting and solid defensive contributions, as he's played at least 25 minutes in every game for Sacramento this season -- regardless of whether he's starting or not.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Grizzlies Achiuwa is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Achiuwa will start at power forward alongside Domantas Sabonis in the frontcourt. The veteran big man has enjoyed an excellent start to the season, averaging 14.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game in two appearances off the bench.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Posts diverse line off bench Achiuwa chipped in 14 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 25 minutes during Friday's 128-120 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Achiuwa had an efficient night off the bench. The veteran big man has been one of Sacramento's most reliable backups through two games, and he should continue to see steady minutes behind Domantas Sabonis.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Strong effort off bench Achiuwa notched 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 121-96 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Achiuwa provided a spark off the bench in his season debut Wednesday. With Maxime Raynaud (knee) and Dylan Cardwell (ankle) starting the year on the shelf, Achiuwa should carry some short-term streaming appeal in the majority of fantasy leagues.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Achiuwa is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Spurs, Tristi Rodriguez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Achiuwa was deemed available for Friday's preseason finale after tweaking his ankle in Tuesday's 110-98 preseason loss to Portland. However, he won't be starting, as Sacramento will deploy Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis in the frontcourt.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Friday Achiuwa (ankle) is available for Friday's preseason game against San Antonio, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Achiuwa tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's 110-98 preseason loss to Portland. However, he is good to suit up for the Kings' final exhibition before facing the Clippers on Opening Night.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with ankle injury Precious Achiuwa exited Tuesday's game with a right ankle injury and did not return, per Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee.

Impact Achiuwa started at center and posted a double-double before leaving late with a right ankle injury and being ruled out. With Maxime Raynaud (knee) and Dylan Cardwell (calf) each expected to miss at least two weeks, the severity of the ankle injury matters a lot for Sacramento's frontcourt depth.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Sniffs double-double in preseason loss Achiuwa supplied eight points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Saturday's 111-106 preseason loss to the Warriors.

Impact With Domantas Sabonis (undisclosed) sidelined, Achiuwa got the starting nod for a third straight exhibition game. The 27-year-old couldn't replicate his 18-point performance from Thursday's loss, though he tied for the team lead in rebounds Saturday. Maxime Raynaud exited Saturday's contest with a knee injury, and if he's forced to miss time to begin the regular season, Achiuwa could see increased playing time.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Scores team-high 18 points Achiuwa registered 18 points (9-13 FG), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Thursday's 114-110 preseason loss to the Lakers.

Impact Achiuwa led the Kings in scoring, but we should take his performance with a grain of salt. The starting slot at power forward is Keegan Murray's (undisclosed) to lose, while Achiuwa's best prognosis is a backup frontcourt role.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start in preseason opener Achiuwa will start Monday's preseason game against the Lakers, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

Impact With Keegan Murray (undisclosed) sitting out the Kings' preseason opener, Achiuwa will get the starting nod. The big man started 57 of his 73 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, though he's expected to come off the bench when the first unit is at full strength this year.

Agrees to re-sign with Kings Achiuwa agreed to re-sign with the Kings on a two-year, $11.5 million deal Tuesday, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.

Impact Achiuwa is coming off a career season with Sacramento, closing with averages of 10.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.9 minutes per game over 73 regular-season appearances. However, the 26-year-old big man might have to settle for a reserve role to begin the new year, as there's no indication that Domantas Sabonis (knee) won't be ready to play right away in 2026-27.
