Rebounding Challenges

Sacramento currently ranks last in the NBA in rebounds per game with 37.5, struggling particularly after losing starting forward Keegan Murray to wrist surgery. Improving their rebounding presence is a clear priority.

Roster Considerations

If the Kings sign Achiuwa, they would need to make a roster move, as they currently have 15 players under standard contracts. Some candidates for potential cuts include second-year forward Issac Jones (non-guaranteed contract), forward Dario Saric, and wing Doug McDermott. Russell Westbrook’s deal for the season is not fully guaranteed, but he has made a positive impact so far.

Summary

The Kings are actively pursuing a solution to their rebounding woes by targeting veteran center Precious Achiuwa, which could lead to roster changes to accommodate the signing.
