Dylan Cardwell Heads Into Year Two With The Kings
newsroom · 45 min agoDylan Cardwell is back with Sacramento for the 2026-27 season after a rookie year that saw him play 44 games. He is not on the injury report, and last season's numbers give a clear picture of what he brings off the bench: rebounding, rim protection, and efficient shooting.
Roster Spot
Dylan Cardwell is on the Kings' roster for the 2026-27 season, wearing No. 32. He is a 6-10, 255-pound center out of Auburn, entering his second NBA season at age 24. Last season, his rookie year, he played all of it with Sacramento, appearing in 44 games. His size and school pedigree fit the mold of a traditional big man, and Sacramento kept him on the roster heading into this season rather than letting him walk. There is no trade or departure tied to his name in this update, so fans should expect him back in the same role: a frontcourt piece used in specific minutes rather than a full-time starter.
Last Season By The Numbers
In 2025-26, Cardwell averaged 20.6 minutes, 5.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.5 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers per game across 44 appearances. His shooting was efficient: 58.7% from the field, 50.0% from three, and 51.0% from the free-throw line, with a true shooting mark of 59.1%. His usage rate sat at 10.8%, showing he was not a primary scoring option, and his plus-minus was -1.5. Those numbers describe a low-usage, high-efficiency role player who rebounds well and protects the rim, with the 3-point number coming on a small sample given his overall shot profile.
Health Report
Cardwell is not on the injury report heading into the new season. There is no injury history listed for him, meaning he played through last season, his rookie year, without a documented injury interruption. For a center whose value is tied to minutes on the floor, both for rebounding and defense, staying off the injury list matters. Right now there is nothing to track on that front, and no update needed until something changes.
What's Next
With no recent games or rumors tied to Cardwell in this update, the story for now is simple: he is back with Sacramento for 2026-27, healthy, and coming off a rookie season with real per-minute production. The opener is still ahead. Once the season starts, his role will be worth watching against last season's 44-game, 20.6-minute baseline to see whether the Kings lean on him more or keep him in the same bench-frontcourt spot.
