Injury report

Sacramento Kings

Precious AchiuwaQuestionable· back Nov 13Report updated · Nov 12, 7:20 PM
Report note
Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Soreness (2026-11-13, POR@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Achiuwa (ankle) is questionable to play Friday's game against the Trail Blazers. Achiuwa is dealing with left ankle soreness after exiting Tuesday's 107-100 loss to Orlando during the third quarter. He was unable to return to the contest, and his questionable designation suggests there's a decent chance he'll be forced to sit out against Portland. If Achiuwa is sidelined, Dylan Cardwell and Keegan Murray should earn the vacated minutes, with Murray the likeliest to join the starting unit.
Ben SimmonsOut· back Oct 1Report updated · Oct 18, 8:00 PM
Report note
Injury/Illness - Right Achilles Tendon Repair / Surgery (2026-11-13, POR@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-10-21): 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. Previously reported out for season.

Report note
Injury/Illness - Right Patella Subluxation (2026-11-13, POR@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-11-10): 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.

Phoenix Suns

Mark WilliamsOut· back Feb 3
Report note
Williams underwent surgery Thursday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will miss an extended period of time, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. This is a tough blow for the center with training camp right around the corner. With his status for Opening Night in jeopardy, this will put a lot of eyes on Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach, with the latter already drawing buzz during the Summer League. More clarity on Williams' timeline should be known in the coming weeks.
