Kings Lock Down Achiuwa for 2 Years | Sacramento Kings News

The Sacramento Kings pulled off a savvy move by locking down forward Precious Achiuwa on a two-year, $11.5M deal just before free agency kicked off — using up their Bi-Annual Exception. His stellar play this season, especially when injuries hit key big men like Sabonis and Murray, proved his value. Achiuwa averaged nearly a double-double in March and April, posting 15.4 PPG and 9.3 RPG in March, and 15.5 PPG and 9 RPG in April — including five games with 20+ points and 10+ rebounds. He’s now in elite company with legends like Cousins and Webber for that kind of game. The signing adds crucial frontcourt depth as rumors swirl about Sabonis possibly being traded. Achiuwa, thrilled to stay, praised Sacramento’s embrace of him — even when he started the season unsigned — and is now locked in for at least two more seasons.
