Free agent NBA forward Precious Achiuwa and his fiancée Sarina tied the knot in a beautiful outdoor ceremony, as seen in photos the pair shared in a joint Instagram post Tuesday.
“The Achiuwa’s,” they wrote.
The 6-foot-8 Nigerian shared a post that read, “Mr. & Mrs” on Saturday, including photos of the couple wearing white and posing together.
Sarina wrote “Officially us” in a Friday post with the same photos.
The newlyweds are currently honeymooning in Croatia.
Achiuwa is headed for free agency after completing a one-year deal with the Kings signed last November.
Before that, he spent roughly two seasons with the Knicks and served as a solid bench player — appearing in 17 playoff games and two starts — before his contract expired last summer.
Achiuwa and the Knicks fell in the Eastern Conference finals to the Pacers last season.
This year’s group has gone one round further and will face the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night.
Both Achiuwa and the Kings seem open to a reunion.
During his end-of-season press conference, Achiuwa shared his desire to continue playing for the Kings and head coach Doug Christie, adding that he enjoys living in Sacramento.
Sacramento general manager Scott Perry was complimentary of Achiuwa’s impact.
“Not bad for a guy who came off the couch in November,” Perry said after the season. “Really enjoyed working with Precious this year. Got a chance to show a lot.
“I just really like how, as the season wore on, he became more comfortable,” Perry said. “He’s a player who can guard multiple positions. He can play with the necessary athleticism, energy, and force. I think that it’s very important in today’s game.”
Achiuwa appeared in 73 games, starting 57, and averaged 10.1 points and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 52.8 percent from the field.
He improved over time, averaging 15.7 points and 9.2 rebounds over the final 25 games.
Sacramento finished with a 22-60 record and last in the Western Conference this past season.
