Scores 14 despite shooting woes Murray finished with 14 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Murray needed 12 shots to score his 14 points, and it's not like he posted strong figures in other categories to salvage his fantasy outing. He might be in line for a more significant role Wednesday against the Nets, however, as Trae Young is currently dealing with a left calf contusion, and it's uncertain whether he'll be able to suit up in the second half of a back-to-back. Murray is averaging 18.9 points, 4.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game in December.

Productive in return Murray (ankle) amassed 17 points (7-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 126-125 victory over the Magic.

Impact Murray returned to action after missing the past five games due to an ankle injury, having an immediate impact including the game-sealing free throws with less than two seconds remaining on the clock. His shooting was a little wayward, but that's something to be expected given his layoff. With his offseason move from San Antonio to Atlanta, Murray has taken the biggest hit in the assists and rebounds category, but he's more or less holding steady in every other category while increasing his three-point production (career-high 2.1 per game, up from 1.4 in 2021-22).

Game-time call Monday Murray (ankle) is a game-time decision for Monday's contest against the Magic, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact After missing Atlanta's previous five showings, Murray's status for Monday is still up in the air. If the 26-year-old is ultimately ruled out, his next chance to return to the court comes Wednesday against Chicago. Murray is averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.8 steals throughout his first 25 appearances as a member of the Hawks.

Participates in shootaround Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable but participated in shootaround ahead of Monday's matchup against the Magic, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Murray's missed five consecutive games and is listed as questionable, but his participation at shootaround suggests the point guard is on track to return Monday. If he suits up, fewer minutes will be available for Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday and Vit Krejci.

Chance to play Monday Murray (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Magic, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Murray has missed five straight games due to an ankle injury, but he'll have a chance to suit up Monday. Even if he's ultimately sidelined again, it appears the point guard will be back in action before long. His eventual return would likely mean less minutes for Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday and Vit Krejci.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Expected to miss two weeks Murray is expected to be sidelined for around two weeks after he underwent an MRI on Thursday that confirmed a left ankle sprain, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murray sprained the ankle during Wednesday's blowout loss to the Knicks and is now on tap for a multi-game absence. The Hawks suddenly have a skeleton crew, as John Collins (ankle) and De'Andre Hunter (hip) are also shelved, and Trae Young (illness) missed Thursday's practice. In Murray's absence, more minutes could be available for Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday, Vit Krejci and Jarrett Culver. Bogdan Bogdanovic may take on more usage as well.

Won't return Wednesday Murray (ankle) won't return to Wednesday's game against New York, Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN reports.

Impact This is devastating news for the Hawks, as their star guard has been officially ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's matchup with a left ankle sprain. It's unclear at the moment if Murray's status beyond Wednesday's contest is in jeopardy, as it all depends on the severity of Murray's injury. If the former Spur is out for an extended period of time, Bogdan Bogdanovic is a prime candidate to see increased run.

Questionable to return Wednesday Murray is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against New York due to a left ankle sprain, Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN reports.

Impact Murray suffered the sprained left ankle sometime during the first quarter of Wednesday's matchup. The guard logged four minutes of action and posted two points (0-0 FG, 2-2 FT) before his early exit. He's officially questionable to return.

Pops for 24 against Thunder Murray supplied 24 points (10-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 121-114 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact The Hawks seemed to have the game well in hand when they took a 14-point lead in the third quarter, but another late swoon put them in the loss column. Murray appears to be coming out of his scoring funk, at least -- after producing more than 19 points only once over an eight-game stretch in the second half of November, the 26-year-old guard has dropped dropped 24 or more in three straight, averaging 28.3 points, 5.7 assists, 4.0 boards, 3.3 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks during his resurgence.
