Keegan Murray News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Cleared to face Lakers Murray (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.

Impact Murray will suit up Saturday after being labeled questionable 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.

Impact Murray was sidelined for this past Monday's game against the Nuggets due to left ankle soreness. He was able to return Thursday against the Lakers and finished with 10 points, seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 35 minutes. Keon Ellis and Kevin Huerter would be the top candidates to enter the Kings' starting five Saturday if Murray is unable to play.

Plans to play Thursday Murray (ankle) plans to play in Thursday's game versus the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Tabbed questionable Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Murray didn't play in Monday's game due to left ankle soreness and was absent from practice Wednesday. 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. If he doesn't suit up, Doug McDermott and Keon Ellis could see more opportunities.

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.

Won't play Monday vs. Denver Murray (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Murray will miss his first game of the 2024-25 regular season Monday due to left ankle soreness, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Lakers. 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.

Iffy against Denver Murray is questionable to play against the Nuggets on Monday due to left ankle soreness.

Impact Murray was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's a concerning sign for fantasy managers. The Kings will already be without Kevin Huerter (shoulder) as well. If Murray is unable to suit up, the Kings could potentially turn to Jae Crowder or Doug McDermott.

Efficient in victory Murray contributed 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and nine rebounds in 34 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Murray's 18 points were his most since Nov. 24. The 24-year-old guard has struggled with his efficiency from behind the arc this season, converting just 29.9 percent of his 5.5 three-point attempts per contest.

Records double-double Murray notched 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Murray struggled from the field, as he ended with more field goal attempts than points scored, but he produced enough to deliver his eighth double-double of the season. However, given that he's gone six straight games without reaching the 15-point mark, and knowing he holds a secondary role in an offense led by the likes of DeMar DeRozan, De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, Murray isn't likely to post big numbers on a regular basis. The role he has in the Kings' offensive scheme certainly conspires against his fantasy upside.

Comes close to double-double Murray logged 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Nets.

Impact Murray was a consistent performer on both ends of the court for the Kings in this one, and he finished just two boards away from recording a double-double. This was just the third game in which Murray reached the 20-point mark, however, and his lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis, as well as his reduced role in an offensive scheme that also features Domantas Sabonis, De'Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan, limit his upside in most formats.

Fouls out in 22 minutes Murray amassed seven points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals across 22 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Murray saw a season-low 22 minutes as a result of fouling out in the loss. He's had a tough season for the most part, particularly with his perimeter shooting. Through 15 regular-season games, he's hitting just 29.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Double-double in OT loss Murray notched 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 45 minutes during Friday's 130-126 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact The third-year forward has taken a big step forward in 2024-25 when it comes to his production on the glass. Murray has pulled down double-digit boards in six of nine games to begin November, averaging 13.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.7 threes and 0.8 blocks on the month, and Friday's double-double was his sixth of the season.

Quiet in loss Murray ended with five points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Monday's 116-96 loss to San Antonio.

Impact This was Murray's second dud over his last three appearances, as he couldn't find his rhythm from the field. He's had a bit of a rough start to the campaign so far, averaging 13.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in the opening 11 games. He's been particularly cold from beyond the arc, hitting 27.9 percent of his attempts.

Season-high 14 boards Murray amassed 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist in 43 minutes during Sunday's 127-118 overtime victory over the Suns.

Impact Murray's 14 boards were a season-high mark. He's grabbed double-digit rebounds in three straight, five of his last seven games and six times overall this season. The addition of DeMar DeRozan hasn't impacted Murray's ability to rack up stats, though the latter has been ice-cold from deep to start the campaign. Murray is shooting 28.6 percent from deep through 10 games after posting a 35.8 percent clip from downtown last year and a 41.4 percent mark as a rookie.

Records 22/12 double-double Murray closed Wednesday's 122-107 win over Toronto with 22 points (9-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 35 minutes.

Impact Murray has taken a significant leap forward this season, most notably as a rebounder. He averaged only 5.5 rebounds per game during his 2023-24 campaign, a stark contrast to his average of 8.3 boards over the first eight games of the season. Although DeMar DeRozan was expected to cut into Murray's production, the exact opposite has occurred, with Murray enjoying a prolific start in an adjusted role.
