The Sacramento Kings are no strangers to season-ending injuries this year, and another name has been added to the team’s lengthy injury list.

Sacramento announced that veteran center Drew Eubanks will undergo surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb, effectively ending his 2025-26 season.

The Kings (18-51) have just 13 games remaining, but will have to take the floor with limited options in the front court the rest of the way.

Over 42 appearances (11 starts) for Sacramento this season, Eubanks averaged 5.2 points and 3.0 rebounds per game on 59 percent shooting from the field over 13.1 minutes per contest.

Eubanks joined Domantas Sabonis (knee), Zach LaVine (hand), and De’Andre Hunter (eye) in the group of Sacramento Kings players who are dealing with season-ending injuries, while Keegan Murray (ankle), Malik Monk (ankle), Russell Westbrook (foot), and Devin Carter (calf) are also dealing with ailments of their own.

With Eubanks on the shelf the rest of the way, Sacramento will rely on its rookie centers–Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell–to take on the bulk of minutes until the season finale in mid-April.

Veteran forward Precious Achiuwa has also provided the Kings with an anchor in the post this season, but the 26-year-old has been playing out of his mind the past couple of weeks.

Since February 25th (10 games), Achiuwa has averaged 16.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 58 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range.

For context, the only other NBA players to average 16/10/1 over the same timespan are Denver’s Nikola Jokic and Detroit’s Jalen Duren–both All-Star talents.

Achiuwa, Raynaud, and Cardwell will see the floor plenty over these final 13 games as they look to end the season strong and head into the summer on a high note.
