Overview
- Multiple outlets reported June 30 that the Sacramento Kings agreed to a two-year, $11.5 million contract that will keep Precious Achiuwa with the team through the 2027–28 season.
- Achiuwa emerged after joining Sacramento in November, appearing in 73 games with 57 starts in 2025–26 and posting career highs of 10.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.
- He and rookie Maxime Raynaud formed an effective frontcourt pairing that helped cover for injured star Domantas Sabonis and stabilized the Kings’ rotation late in the season.
- Because the team held only Achiuwa’s Non‑Bird rights, analysts say the reported terms imply the Kings likely used the mid‑level or bi‑annual exception to structure the deal, which projects near the reported two‑year total.
- The signing fits into a broader Sacramento offseason that includes Zach LaVine opting into 2026–27 and recent draft additions, and it preserves a cost‑controlled rotation piece while the franchise manages limited cap flexibility.
