What happened: Sacramento listed Leaky Black, Keegan Murray, Precious Achiuwa, Nique Clifford and Elfrid Payton as tonight's starting five. The announcement sets the rotation for a 2026-27 preseason date.

Why it matters: The mix tests camp combinations outside the established LaVine-Murray-Sabonis core. Preseason minutes decide bench order and closing assignments entering the regular season.

What to watch: The next preseason outing shows whether this group holds and who finishes.
