It was the 11th time this season that Murray has posted a double-double, which is a good sign after missing two of the last four games for the Kings due to an ankle injury.

Expected to play Sunday Murray (ankle), who's officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Warriors, NBA reporter Mark Haynes reports.
Impact Murray missed two straight games due to left ankle soreness but should be back in the starting lineup Sunday, though De'Aaron Fox (hip) is unlikely to suit up. Across 12 December outings, Murray averaged 10.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in 33.5 minutes per game.

Impact Murray has missed the past two games for the Kings, but he appears to be trending in the right direction -- he was able to do some individual work at Saturday's practice. If Murray isn't able to suit up for the first leg of this back-to-back set, Keon Ellis and Trey Lyles could see extended run.

Impact Initially listed as doubtful to play, Murray will miss his first game since Dec. 16 due to left ankle soreness. With Joel Embiid (rest) sidelined on the other side for Philadelphia, the Kings could opt to go small and move either Keon Ellis or Kevin Huerter into the starting lineup Wednesday, but Trey Lyles is also a candidate to join the first unit. Friday's matchup with Memphis marks Murray's next opportunity to play.

Nursing ankle issue Murray is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to left ankle soreness, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Impact Murray hasn't looked quite himself lately, averaging 8.0 points on 31.8 percent shooting from the field over his last five games, though it's unclear how long he's been dealing with this injury. Doug McDermott would be a solid candidate to start in Murray's place Wednesday, assuming he's ultimately ruled out closer to tipoff.

Back-to-back poor performances Murray accumulated four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 110-100 victory over the Mavericks.

Logs double-double in loss Murray totaled 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 114-113 loss to Detroit.
Impact Murray needed to step things up without Domantas Sabonis (illness) in the lineup, and he gave the team the rebound boost it needed during a poor shooting night. Absorbing Sabonis' production is no easy feat, and Murray's errant shot, coupled with tepid numbers from Alex Len diluted Sacramento's potential. The Kings stuck with Detroit despite Sabonis' absence, and his eventual return will shift Murray back into a more customary role.

Impact Murray will give it a go Sunday after receiving a questionable tag due to left ankle soreness.

The third-year forward is averaging a career-high 7.7 rebounds per game this season but is averaging 2.9 fewer points per game than he did in 2023-24. However, Murray would be in line for more usage Saturday if Domantas Sabonis (back) is sidelined.

His availability for Thursday's tilt remains up in the air, and he may need to test out the ankle pregame before being ruled in or out.

Sits out practice Wednesday Murray (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Impact Murray missed his first game of the 2024-25 regular season Monday due to left ankle soreness, and he's still less than 100 percent. Murray's status for Thursday's game against the Lakers is up in the air, but there should be more clarity when the Kings release their injury report Wednesday evening. If Murray misses more time, Keon Ellis and Doug McDermott could both benefit from a fantasy perspective.

He had scored in double digits in four of the Kings' last five games and averaged 13.2 points and 7.4 rebounds across 34.4 minutes per contest over that span. Murray's absence Monday should mean more minutes for Colby Jones and Jae Crowder.
