Daeqwon Plowden Back With Kings for Year 3 After 10.8 PPG Season
newsroom · 2 h agoDaeqwon Plowden returns to the Sacramento Kings for the 2026-27 season, entering his third year in the league. He is not on the injury report heading into the year. Last season he averaged 10.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 32 games for Sacramento.
Where he fits on the roster
Daeqwon Plowden wears No. 29 for the Kings and is listed as a guard-forward at 6-4, 216 pounds. He is 28 years old and came out of Bowling Green. The 2026-27 season is his third in the NBA, and he heads into it with Sacramento, the same team he played for last season. He carries two seasons of experience into this year, giving him a track record the Kings can build on as he settles into a rotation spot.
Last season by the numbers
In 2025-26, Plowden appeared in 32 games for Sacramento and averaged 26.4 minutes a night. He put up 10.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, adding 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks. He also kept his turnovers low, averaging just 0.8 a game. Those numbers put him in a rotation role rather than a starting one, with steady minutes but a modest offensive load for a Kings team still figuring out its rotation pieces.
Efficiency snapshot
Plowden shot 43.0 percent from the field last season, with a 33.3 percent mark from three-point range. At the free-throw line he was much sharper, hitting 85.7 percent of his attempts. His true shooting percentage came in at 57.2, and his usage rate sat at 15.7, meaning he was not a primary option in the Kings' offense. Combined with his low turnover rate, the profile is a role player who shoots efficiently within a limited share of possessions.
Health entering the season
Plowden is not on the injury report as the Kings move into the 2026-27 season. There is no injury history on record for him. That clean bill of health gives Sacramento a full offseason and training camp to work him into whatever role the coaching staff has planned, without any recovery timeline or health question hanging over his start to the year.
What's next
With no games played yet in 2026-27, the season opener is still ahead for Plowden and the Kings. His floor time and role this year will be shaped by how his 2025-26 production translates: a rotation guard-forward who shot well from the field and the free-throw line but did not carry a heavy offensive burden. His minus-6.4 plus-minus from last season is the only data point so far on his on-court impact, and it will be worth watching whether that number moves as the new season unfolds.
