What happened: Darius Acuff, the Kings' No. 7 overall pick, will wear No. 5 in Sacramento. Acuff said his father wore the number before him, and he has worn it himself since childhood as a tribute.
Why it matters: Acuff's number reveal comes amid a busy offseason for Sacramento, which has waived DeMar DeRozan and signed players including Emanuel Sharp and Daeqwon Plowden. He joins a Kings roster reshaping itself heading into the 2026-27 season.
What to watch: Acuff heads toward Kings training camp ahead of the 2026-27 season wearing his father's number.
