Precious Achiuwa Fantasy Stats

Sacramento Kings forward Precious Achiuwa (back) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Achiuwa is set to return after missing Tuesday's game due to a back issue. His return to the rotation should mean a reduced role for Daeqwon Plowden on Thursday. Fantasy managers should make sure to adjust their lineups and get Achiuwa active ahead of tip-off. Over the last five games, Achiuwa is averaging 16.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks across 32.4 minutes per game. He's looking like a valuable streaming option down the stretch of the season.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's nursing a back problem and might sit out a second consecutive contest. Before being knocked out of the lineup, Achiuwa had an impressive six-game spell, averaging 15.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. With Achiuwa unavailable, the Kings used Patrick Baldwin Jr. in the starting unit on Tuesday against Charlotte, but he had an uneventful evening. Across 28 minutes of action, Baldwin Jr. recorded five points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. Dylan Cardwell, Daeqwon Plowden, and Doug McDermott also have additional fantasy value without Achiuwa.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (back) was downgraded from questionable to out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte. Achiuwa has been playing significant minutes lately, reaching double-digit points in six straight games, highlighted by a 14-point, 15-rebound performance against the Nets in his most recent outing. With the veteran out on Tuesday, Dylan Cardwell, Doug McDermott, and Daeqwon Plowden (who was upgraded to available) will be in line for more minutes in this tough matchup against the Hornets.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte after being listed with lower-back soreness following Sunday's win. He has been a steady part of the rotation lately, including a 14-point, 15-rebound effort in his most recent outing. If he sits, Dylan Cardwell could see more frontcourt minutes after posting five points, three rebounds, two assists, and one block in 15 minutes last game. Daeqwon Plowden (foot) could also see extra minutes if he's able to suit up.

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.
