Kings Considering Precious Achiuwa to Address Frontcourt Size

A full roster means a signing would likely cost Isaac Jones his spot.

Overview

  • NBA insider Jake Fischer reports Sacramento is evaluating free agent big man Precious Achiuwa for a potential addition.
  • The Kings have started 2-4 and have leaned on smaller lineups with DeMar DeRozan at power forward as Keegan Murray deals with a thumb injury.
  • Sacramento would need to waive a player to make room, and Brett Siegel reports Isaac Jones is the likely candidate if a deal is reached.
  • Achiuwa became a free agent after Miami waived his non‑guaranteed deal before opening night to avoid luxury‑tax complications, a move Erik Spoelstra framed as roster‑driven.
  • The 2020 first‑round pick has logged 320 NBA games with career averages of 7.6 points and 5.7 rebounds, and he posted 4.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in four preseason games with the Heat.
