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.

Records double-double Friday Murray amassed 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 39 minutes during Friday's 123-115 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Murray has been relegated to being the Kings' fourth option on offense behind De'Aaron Fox, DeMar DeRozan, and Domantas Sabonis. However, the forward should occasionally put in strong performances. This was his second double-double of the season across five outings, and the third-year forward has opened the campaign with averages of 14.2 points and 7.6 boards across 37.4 minutes per tilt.

Debuts with double-double Murray posted 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 43 minutes during Thursday's 117-115 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Murray only had eight double-doubles last season, with a lack of rebounding opportunities providing the primary barrier for more. Murray took a big leap forward as a scorer in 2023-24, increasing his nightly average three points from his rookie season. His three-point volume in the opener suggests that the perimeter game will be a greater focus after averaging 6.6 attempts per game beyond the arc during his sophomore season. The rebound increase could be due to the departure of Harrison Barnes, who was often at Murray's position but did not rebound as effectively.

Heavy shot volume in loss Murray produced 21 points (8-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt), five rebounds, two steals and an assist across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 117-114 preseason loss to the Jazz.

Impact Although Murray is an effective shooter, his shot volume from the perimeter was uncharacteristic compared to his first two seasons with the Kings. He averaged 6.6 three-point attempts per game last season and made 10 or more attempts just 14 times. It's an encouraging sign for Murray, who could still be negatively affected by the arrival of DeMar DeRozan. If preseason results are any indication, the current combination is working well between the two wing men.

Busy at defensive end Friday Murray scored 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT) while adding five steals, two assists, one rebound and one block in 26 minutes during Friday's 109-106 preseason loss to the Warr...

Impact The Kings' new-look starting lineup with DeMar DeRozan appeared to be just about in midseason form, as all five players scored in double digits. Murray made his biggest impact on the defensive end though, and encouraging sign after he averaged 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over 77 regular-season games in 2023-24. The third-year forward may have more to offer in those categories this season, especially with DeRozan on board to handle more of the offensive load.

Team option picked up The Kings exercised Murray's team option for the 2025-26 season Thursday,Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Murray is now set to remain in Sacramento for at least the first four seasons of his career. In 2023-24, the 24-year-old forward averaged 15.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes across 77 appearances, all of which were starts. Murray is set to start at power forward for the Kings once again this season.

Impact Murray had to leave the game in the second quarter due to a hip problem, and even though he returned in the second half, he didn't look at his best -- and he was certainly not as good as he was against the Warriors in the previous round of the Play-In Tournament. Murray has scored 15 points or more in five of his last seven appearances and will be asked to play a prominent role on offense in the first-round series against the Thunder.

Cleared to return Murray (hip) has returned to Friday's Play-In Game against New Orleans, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murray went to the locker room at the end of the first half with left hip soreness, but he's been cleared to return for the final two quarters of play. He'll be asked to play a big role down the stretch with the Kings facing a nine-point deficit.

Heads to locker room Murray went to the locker room with an undisclosed injury during the second quarter of Friday's Play-In Game against the Pelicans, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murray appeared to slip on a wet spot on the court, and he was reportedly favoring his hip on the way to the locker room, per Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento. Trey Lyles and Colby Jones would likely be asked to step up if Murray can't return.
