Team-high 17 points Murray finished with 17 points (7-19 FG, 3-6 3 Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists and a block in 33 minutes against the Cavaliers on Wednesday night in preseason action.

Impact Murray had a rough second quarter, committing back-to-back turnovers on an offensive foul, followed by a bad pass out of bounds on the Hawks' next possession. He finished the quarter with three turnovers while also missing his last four shots in the period. The starting shooting guard was much better in the second half, going 4-of-9 from the field, while also dishing out back-to-back assists for three-pointers to put the Hawks up 78-77 in the fourth quarter. He also went 2-of-2 from three in the second half.

Starting Wednesday Murray is starting Wednesday's preseason game against Cleveland, Lauren L. Williams of MLive.com reports.

Impact Murray was unavailable for Saturday's preseason game against the Bucks due to back spasms, but he was a full participant in Tuesday's practice session. It seems unlikely that his back issue will limit his availability to begin the regular season.

Goes through full practice Tuesday Hawks head coach Nate McMillan said Murray (back) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Murray dealt with back spasms that forced him to sit out Saturday's preseason game against the Bucks, but the issue appears to have subsided. It's unclear if Murray will play in Wednesday or Friday's exhibitions, but it doesn't seem like the back issue will hinder his availability for the regular season.

Young's first-half shooting leads Hawks past Bucks 118-109

Trae Young scored 31 points, playing only in the first half, to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 118-109 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in the second of two games in Abu Dhabi

Dealing with back spasms Coach Nate McMillan revealed Saturday that Murray will sit out the preseason game against the Bucks due to back spasms, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact The initial report on Murray's absence didn't include a reason behind it, so it seemed like rest. Instead, it appears Murray is dealing with a flareup in his back and will take the afternoon off. His next opportunity to rejoin the action surfaces Tuesday against the Cavaliers.

Will sit Saturday Coach Nate McMillan indicated Saturday that Murray will not take the floor Saturday against the Bucks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Given that no reason behind Murray's absence was revealed, it's fairly safe to assume he's sitting this contest out to rest up ahead of the regular season. Murray put on a show in the first preseason showdown with the bucks, racking up 25 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, and he has nothing to prove ahead of the regular-season opener Oct. 19 versus the Rockets.

Impact Murray scored 19 of his 25 points in the first half and led the Hawks in scoring, rebounds and assists. He played all 12 minutes in the second quarter, giving him a chance to run the offense with Trae Young on the bench for part of that time. It was his first appearance in a Hawks uniform since being traded in June from San Antonio. The 26-year-old made his first All-Star team last season, averaging 21.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 9.2 assists and leading the league with two steals per game.

Back in practice Murray (illness) rejoined practice Thursday but will integrate slowly after missing some time, Lauren L. Williams of MLive.com reports.

Impact Murray sat out Wednesday's practice with a non-COVID illness, but he's at least back in the mix for the Hawks as of Thursday. His first chance to don the new uniform arrives next Thursday against the Bucks, and he figures to pair with Trae Young to form a dynamic backcourt for Atlanta in 2022-23. However, Murray figures to lose some fantasy value moving off the ball.

Unavailable for open practice Murray is not participating in Wednesday's open practice due to a non-COVID illness, Lauren L. Williams of MLive.com reports.

Impact Murray wasn't the only player sidelined Wednesday, as Bogdan Bogdanovic (kneecap), Vit Krejci (knee), AJ Griffin and Trent Forrest were also unavailable. It's unclear how much playing time Murray will receive during the Hawks' preseason, but he should be fully available going forward as long as the illness doesn't linger.
