Rookie center Maxime Raynaud turned in another productive effort on Friday, helping lead the Sacramento Kings in a loss to the Boston Celtics on the road.
Raynaud finished with 14 points, 14 rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in the 112-93 loss at TD Garden. He went 6-for-7 from the field, including one 3-pointer, in 36 minutes in place of Domantas Sabonis as the Kings lost their eighth straight game.
The 42nd overall pick is now one of three rookies to haul in at least 14 rebounds in a game multiple times this season, joining Cedric Coward and Collin Murray-Boyles. He previously reached that mark on Dec. 21 in a win over Houston.
Raynaud is averaging 9.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and one assist while shooting 54.3% shooting from the field in 42 appearances with the Kings. He is fourth in rebounding among all first-year players and is tied for second in double-doubles (7).
The 7-footer has filled in as a starter sporadically, averaging 11.2 points, 8.2 rebounds 1.3 assists in 25 games in that role. He has offered a glimpse of the production he can provide in a large role, with each of his double-doubles coming from the starting lineup.
