    Maxime Raynaud (wrist) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Suns.
    Raynaud suffered a right wrist injury, and it will cost him at least one game. The second-round pick from Stanford has been solid in Summer League play, and it could translate to a substantial role for Sacramento in Year 1.
  • Maxime Raynaud accounted for 17 points (8-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Bulls.
    The three players the Kings likely needed to see play their best in Las Vegas, Raynaud, Devin Carter and Nique Clifford, have led the team in its first two games. Raynaud, a second-round pick from Stanford, may be asked to take on the backup center role after the Kings traded Jonas Valančiūnas to the Nuggets. He has the offensive skill set to supplement what starter Domantas Sabonis brings to the table; defense is where the questions may lie, especially in the two-man game. However, Raynaud has played well on both ends of the floor in Las Vegas.
  • Maxime Raynaud amassed 16 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Magic.
    Projected by many to be a first-round pick in last month’s draft, Raynaud’s name was not called until about halfway through the second round. However, that may have been a blessing in disguise, especially with the Kings trading Jonas Valančiūnas to the Nuggets. Significant minutes won’t be available at the center position because Domantas Sabonis is on the roster. However, Sacramento’s decision to trade Valančiūnas may increase Raynaud’s chances of cracking the rotation as a rookie. Especially if he plays as well as he did during the second half of Thursday’s victory.
  • Kings selected Maxime Raynaud with the No. 42 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
    There aren’t many centers in this class that compare to Raynaud on the offensive end. The 22-year-old averaged 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers per game for Stanford last season. He didn’t grade out well defensively, but Raynaud the 7’1” big should be able to hold his own on that end in the NBA. He was a decent shot blocker, but his main impact will be made on offense. Raynaud should step into the league as a high-level floor spacing center behind Domantas Sabonis, though Jonas Valanciunas is still in the mix, so the path to minutes will be murky early on.
