Precious Achiuwa Cleared to Play Wednesday Against Lakers

Precious Achiuwa is officially cleared to lace them up for the Sacramento Kings this Wednesday night. The veteran forward was dealing with a sore left ankle, but the late injury report finally gave him the green light to play against the Los Angeles Lakers.

This is not just a minor rotation update for a random November game. With Keegan Murray already sidelined, Achiuwa has been thrust into the starting lineup to keep the Sacramento frontcourt from completely collapsing.

"Underdog NBA reported Achiuwa is listed available to play Wednesday."

Relying on Achiuwa to stay healthy is an extreme sport in itself. The guy has racked up eight different injuries and missed 79 days over his career, turning his medical chart into something that reads like a CVS receipt.

But right now, the Kings desperately need his minutes. Going up against the Lakers with a depleted frontcourt is a recipe for getting bullied in the paint, making Achiuwa’s availability a massive swing for the game flow and anyone eyeing the rebounding props.

Expect him to slide right back into the starting five tonight. If his ankle holds up, Sacramento might actually have a fighting chance on the glass, but you might want to hold your breath every time he lands in traffic.
