Precious, I know this has been a season of losing, but at the same time, you’ve really started to build something. Do you feel like this is a spot that you would mind staying at long term?” Precious Achiuwa: “Absolutely. I love Sacramento. The city’s embraced me, the team’s embraced me, the organization—from the front office to my teammates and the coaching staff. I truly, truly love being here, and I would really love to be here. I hope once the offseason comes around, they’ll be willing to have me come back.”

Mike Brown called out Karl-Anthony Towns for a lazy play. With less than two minutes remaining in the second quarter of the Knicks’ 112-101 loss to the Kings on Wednesday night, Towns drove and fell after he was stripped in the paint by Precious Achiuwa. The Knicks center stayed on the ground instead of running back on defense, which allowed Achiuwa to grab an uncontested offensive rebound around midcourt. The sequence ended with Sacramento’s Russell Westbrook nailing a wide open corner 3-pointer to give the Kings a 17-point lead. “He drove. Something happened where he fell down. He drove, he fell down,” Brown said. “When you fall down, you got to get up and got to sprint down the floor. And even when you’re the last guy down the floor, you got to get down there just in case there’s a long rebound. But there was no urgency. That wasn’t the only play. There were a handful of plays that we did that. But there was no sense of urgency on that particular play to get back. And it was a five-point swing. — 1/15/2026 New York Post
