Precious Achiuwa Off the Injury Report as Kings Search for a First Win
Precious Achiuwa has been cleared after a brief ankle issue and is not on the Kings' injury report. Through his first five games of 2026-27, Sacramento has lost every time he's taken the floor, with Achiuwa working mostly off the bench in a frontcourt role he held for most of last season.
By the Kings Nightly Desk · updated 4 d ago01The story of the nightWho Achiuwa Is for SacramentoPrecious Achiuwa wears No.
Precious Achiuwa wears No. 9 for the Kings, listed at forward, 6-8 and 243 pounds. He's 27 years old, out of Memphis, and enters his sixth NBA season. Last season he logged 73 games for Sacramento, so he's a known rotation piece rather than a new addition. His frame lets him guard forward spots and rebound, and his role so far in 2026-27 has mirrored that: minutes in the 13-to-27 range off the bench, mixing in rebounding and occasional playmaking. He's not currently dealing with any injury concern, which matters for a frontcourt that needs bodies available every night in the season's early stretch.
02Last Season's NumbersIn 2025-26, Achiuwa played 73 games for Sacramento, averaging 23.9 minutes, 10.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists,…
In 2025-26, Achiuwa played 73 games for Sacramento, averaging 23.9 minutes, 10.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks. He shot 52.8 percent from the field but just 27.8 percent from three and 55.4 percent from the foul line, with a true shooting mark of 55.8 percent. His usage rate sat at 17.2 percent, and his plus-minus was minus-3.7 on the season. Those numbers paint him as an efficient two-point scorer and rebounder who isn't relied on to create shots or stretch the floor, and whose teams were often outscored when he was on the court last season.
03Health CheckAchiuwa is not on the injury report right now.
Achiuwa is not on the injury report right now. He had a brief scare this month: he was listed day-to-day with a right ankle and leg issue on October 14, but was cleared on October 16.

There's no indication of a recurring or lingering issue beyond that one day-to-day listing, and he's been available for every game in the stretch of results provided, including the one right after he came off the injury list.
