Precious Achiuwa Fantasy Stats

Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been filling in at power forward with Keegan Murray sidelined. He is averaging 6.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 58.6 percent shooting in 18.8 minutes this season. Achiuwa is mostly a deeper league streamer for rebounds, field goal percentage, and occasional defensive stats, but he gains appeal if Domantas Sabonis (ribcage) also sits. If Achiuwa is ruled out, managers in deeper formats can look to Drew Eubanks or Maxime Raynaud as short-term frontcourt streamers, while Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan could see even more small-ball usage.

Free agent forward/center Precious Achiuwa has agreed to a one-year deal with the Kings after being released by the Heat just before opening night. Achiuwa played with the Knicks last year and averaged 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds while shooting 50% on field goal attempts in 20.5 minutes per contest. He's known mostly for his defense, and he'll provide some nice veteran depth for Sacramento, which is missing Keegan Murray at power forward. Achiuwa could step into a significant role relatively quickly, so keep an eye on his role to determine his fantasy value. To create roster space, the Kings waived forward Isaac Jones, who could rejoin the team if he doesn't find another landing spot.

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the Heat waived forward/center Precious Achiuwa. The 26-year-old most recently suited up for the Knicks during the 2024 campaign. Although he wasn't a consistent producer, he averaged 12.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in 10 appearances in the starting lineup. Achiuwa inked a non-guaranteed deal heading into training camp. However, the Heat made the move before opening night to avoid operating above the luxury tax line. Deep-league dynasty managers with room to spare can keep him stashed on the roster, especially since there may be more than a few teams calling for his services throughout the season. On the other hand, Achiuwa won't see much attention from redraft participants until he signs with a club and carves out a consistent role.

Forward/center Precious Achiuwa has signed a non-guaranteed one-year contract with the Miami Heat, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. The big man, who spent the last season and a half with the New York Knicks, returns to the team where he started his NBA career in 2020. Achiuwa is capable of putting up solid numbers if given enough time on the floor. He averaged 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 20.5 minutes last season. In Miami, Achiuwa will serve as backup for Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware.

The Miami Heat reportedly have forward/center Precious Achiuwa on their radar, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Jackson notes that "several other teams" have also expressed their interest in Achiuwa, who is a free agent following the completion of a one-year, $6 million deal with the New York Knicks. Achiuwa spent his rookie campaign in Miami and would welcome a return to the team, according to Jackson. However, due to financial reasons, the Heat are in no rush to make a deal with Achiuwa. When the Knicks were healthy, Achiuwa had only a limited role on the team, and Miami seems like a much better fit for him. The Heat have lost several frontcourt players ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, including veteran Kevin Love.

New York Knicks forward/center Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is questionable for Friday's pivotal meeting with Boston. The 25-year-old is dealing with a sprained right ankle. However, he's averaged only 3.8 minutes during the series against the C's. With Mitchell Robinson absorbing nearly all of the minutes from off the bench, Achiuwa likely won't see much action regardless of his availability, so his status isn't really worth monitoring for DFS purposes.

New York Knicks forward/center Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) will sit out Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. With Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) back in the lineup and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also available, it's possible Achiuwa would not have played regardless. He only logged four minutes the last time all three were available. New York has another game on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Achiuwa replace Robinson in the lineup for that one.

New York Knicks forward Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) is currently considered questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Achiuwa is in danger of sitting out for the second time over the last three games. The assumption is that it's a minor hamstring issue, but possibly Achiuwa re-aggravated the issue during Tuesday's game. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) would likely pick up the slack if Achiuwa is unable to go, but he's also questionable for this contest. The Knicks might be forced to play small-ball if both players are unable to play.

New York Knicks forward Precious Achiuwa and guard Miles McBride will start in Thursday's game against Chicago. Josh Hart (knee) and OG Anunoby (foot) are both unavailable, so the team will need to plug some holes in the starting lineup. Granted, the Knicks still have Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mikal Bridges. But Achiuwa and McBride could easily exceed usual expectations, so both are worth streaming in any fantasy format. Cameron Payne should also receive his share of work from off the bench.

New York Knicks forward/center Precious Achiuwa will start Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. With OG Anunoby (foot) ruled out for the contest, Miles McBride was initially slated to replace him in the starting unit. However, it has now been announced that Achiuwa will get the nod. Achiuwa will have increased fantasy value in the role. In his only previous start this season, the 25-year-old posted a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double in a 133-107 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
