Kings Get Promising Update on Precious Achiuwa's Free Agency

Sacramento Kings received a promising update on Precious Achiuva's free agency. Achiuwa signed a one-year veteran minimum deal last season and is considered very likely to return, with insiders noting a smooth path to re-signing. In 73 games last season, he averaged 10.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 defensive plays on 52.8% shooting. The likely path to re-signing is a bi-annual exception around $10-11 million over two years, though a mid-level exception remains possible. Keeping Achiuwa would bolster a frontcourt featuring Sabonis, Raynaud and Cardwell, with Murray and Hunter on the wings and a No. 7 pick shaping the backcourt.
