What changed
Rim share+11 ptsPartly real
Cardwell's rim share is up 11 points over his last 25 games of the season (61% vs 50%). The likely reason: Keegan Murray (36 MPG before) played only 4 of 36 games, plus 4 more key players out. Partly real: about 55% should hold.

OutCardwell appeared in 44 games last season, providing frontcourt depth while Domantas Sabonis dealt with injuries. Sacramento will also be without Maxime Raynaud (knee) to begin the campaign, leaving the team thin at center behind Sabonis. Cardwell's return timetable remains uncertain, but his absence could create additional opportunities for the Kings' remaining frontcourt reserves. Expected back: 2026-11-02.
