Precious AchiuwaOut· back Nov 15Report updated · Nov 13, 4:25 PM
Report note
Achiuwa (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers. Achiuwa is sitting out Friday for the first time this season due to left ankle soreness, and he can be deemed day-to-day going forward. His absence likely paves the way for Keegan Murray to re-enter the starting lineup after opening 2026-27 as the Kings' starting power forward.
Ben SimmonsOut· back Oct 1Report updated · Oct 18, 8:00 PM
Report note
Simmons underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn right Achilles tendon, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. Simmons had a quality preseason, averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists over 17.4 minutes per contest (two games). The 30-year-old was on track to suit up for the Kings on opening night, though those plans were halted after he suffered a torn Achilles tendon during practice. Now, Simmons will focus on rehab. However, it's unknown what the future holds regarding his career in the NBA. Reported out for season.
Maxime RaynaudOut· back Nov 15Report updated · Oct 11, 3:00 PM
Report note
Raynaud (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Orlando. Raynaud is expected to be re-evaluated soon, though he can be considered week-to-week until the Kings offer an update on his status. Dylan Cardwell and Precious Achiuwa will likely continue seeing increased burn in Raynaud's absence.
