Sacramento Kings Roster Update
After beginning the 2025-26 season with a 2-5 record, the Sacramento Kings made a roster adjustment by signing free agent Precious Achiuwa, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
Roster Changes
To make room for Achiuwa, the Kings waived second-year center Isaac Jones, who was on a $1.96 million club option this season and was set to become a restricted free agent next offseason, according to Spotrac.
Financial Impact
- Waiving Jones will create a $191,043 salary cap hit for Sacramento, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.
- The team’s salary total will increase by $214,151, affecting the luxury tax calculations.
- Before this signing, the Kings had $3.15 million in luxury tax space.
- They were $7.6 million below the first apron and $19.5 million below the second apron, according to Spotrac.
Frontcourt Challenges
The Kings' frontcourt strength has been tested early this season after losing Keegan Murray to a UCL tear in his left thumb. Murray had surgery last month, and the team said his status would be reevaluated the following Monday at the earliest.

Precious Achiuwa, 26, averaged 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds over 57 games last season with the New York Knicks.
