Kings’ Maxime Raynaud leaves Warriors game with right knee injury
The injury occurs before halftime in Saturday’s preseason game.
Sacramento Kings center Maxime Raynaud left Saturday’s preseason game against the Golden State Warriors with a right knee injury suffered late in the first half. The Associated Press report.
Raynaud went down while setting a screen on Stephen Curry with 2:32 remaining before halftime at Chase Center. Medical staff examined him on the floor before he was helped into a wheelchair and taken off the court.
He later left the arena on crutches with ice around the knee. Raynaud told The Associated Press he was going for an MRI. The report did not establish a diagnosis or a timetable for his return.
The second-year center had 10 points, five rebounds, an assist and a blocked shot in less than nine minutes. He made all three field-goal attempts, including a 3-pointer, and all three free throws before the injury.
Golden State won 111–106. Sacramento selected Raynaud, a former Stanford player from France, in the second round of the 2025 draft.
