Maxime Raynaud Enters Year Two as Kings' Rotation Big
newsroom · 2 h agoMaxime Raynaud heads into the 2026-27 season with a full rookie year behind him, having played 74 games for Sacramento in 2025-26. He is not on the injury report. The Kings will lean on him again as a frontcourt piece as the new season opener approaches.
Where He Stands Entering 2026-27
Maxime Raynaud is back with the Sacramento Kings for the 2026-27 season, listed at center and wearing No. 42. The 23-year-old center out of Stanford stands 7-1 and weighs 250 pounds. He enters this season with one year of NBA experience after appearing in 74 games last season, 2025-26, for Sacramento. He is not on the injury report, which means he heads into the year without any listed health concerns holding him back. For a young big man coming off a full season of minutes, that clean bill of health matters as the Kings look ahead to the opener.
Last Season By the Numbers
In 2025-26, Raynaud played 74 games and averaged 26.5 minutes per night. He put up 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, with 1.3 turnovers. Those numbers came in a season where he took on a real rotation role, logging over 26 minutes a night across nearly the full schedule. The rebounding total, 7.5 per game, stood out as his strongest counting stat, pairing with his size at 7-1 and 250 pounds. As Sacramento heads into 2026-27, that per-game production from last season is the baseline he'll try to build on.
Shooting and Efficiency
Raynaud shot 57.1 percent from the field last season, 32.4 percent from three, and 78.6 percent from the free-throw line in 2025-26. His true shooting percentage sat at 61.9 percent, a mark built on that strong two-point efficiency and respectable volume from deep for a center. His usage rate was 17.8 percent, showing he was not a primary offensive option but still a featured part of the Kings' attack. His plus-minus for the season was minus-6.2. Taken together, the shooting splits point to an efficient, low-usage big who can space the floor a bit while finishing at a high rate inside.
Injury Report
Raynaud is not on the injury report heading into the 2026-27 season. There is no injury history listed for him. That clean status follows a full season in 2025-26 in which he appeared in 74 games, a workload that speaks to his availability as a rotation big. For a young player still building his NBA track record, staying off the injury list is a meaningful sign as Sacramento prepares for the year ahead.
What's Ahead for the Kings' Big Man
With the 2026-27 season approaching, Raynaud is set to build on a rookie campaign that saw him play 74 games and average 12.5 points and 7.5 rebounds for Sacramento. He is healthy, not on the injury report, and enters the year with one season of NBA experience under his belt. The Kings will look for continued growth in his role as the schedule gets underway, with his 2025-26 shooting numbers, 57.1 percent from the field and 32.4 percent from three, as the standard for what he can bring on a given night.
