Keegan Murray News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Active at shootaround Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, but he was active during the team's morning shootaround, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 re...

Impact Murray has appeared in 46 straight games and appears on track to continue that streak Tuesday night, though his official availability will likely come down to a game-time decision. Given Tuesday's matchup is the front end of a back-to-back set, the Kings may proceed with caution.

Added to injury report Murray is questionable for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Murray is at risk of snapping a streak of 46 consecutive starts, and his status will need to be monitored with Sacramento commencing a back-to-back set Tuesday and Wednesday. Harrison Barnes logged just 21 minutes in Sunday's loss to Houston, but he and Trey Lyles would see enlarged workloads if Murray can't suit up Tuesday.

Fully participates in practice Murray twisted his left ankle during Sunday's loss to the Rockets, but he was a full participant during Monday's practice, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact It's been a rough start to March for the second-year forward, who's averaged just 10.2 points on 37.0 percent shooting over his last five appearances. Murray has missed only four games this season and has made 46 straight appearances. That streak will likely continue Tuesday versus Milwaukee, but the Kings have yet to release their official injury report for that contest.

Good all-around effort in loss Murray closed Monday's 113-109 loss to Chicago with 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 39 minutes.

Impact Murray contributed in every major category during the defeat and matched a season high with three blocked shots. Murray will still occasionally disappoint with low shot volume, but he's averaging 33 minutes per game as a starter and is almost always in the running to finish as the Kings' third-best scoring option.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Fades following hot start Murray had 21 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Murray burst out of the gates with 11 first-quarter points but was held to just four points over the ensuing two periods. He added six points in garbage time to finish with a team-high 21. Murray had a more prominent role on offense Wednesday with De'Aaron Fox (knee) out of action, and he's likely to continue to get more usage if Fox misses additional time. Even when Fox is healthy, Murray has done enough to establish himself as a useful fantasy asset this season, averaging 15.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 2.3 three-pointers and 1.1 steals through 54 games.

Wakes up with 28 points Murray posted 28 points (10-14 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.

Impact Murray drained six three-points during one of his best performances of 2024. Murray has a knack for displaying his incredible upside but he's struggled to hit double-digit scoring eight times since the beginning of the year. The All-Star break seemed to have a positive effect on his numbers, averaging 18.3 points. 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals over the last three games.

Court king: Keegan Murray is making an impact defensively while excelling offensively Murray’s strides defensively are just one facet of what has already turned him into one of the pillars for the Kings.

Posts six in win Murray put up six points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a block over 35 minutes in Wednesday's 102-98 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Murray has been ice cold from three recently, averaging a meager 17.6 percent from beyond the arc in his last eight games. Sacramento has had no hesitation pulling some minutes from him in favor of players like Trey Lyles if he performs poorly, and this may be the case if he continues to do so after the All-Star break.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in loss Murray notched zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Murray's terrible February continued Wednesday, and he quickly gave way to Trey Lyles after failing to make an impact. Murray's recent inability to sustain consistent totals is worthy of concern, and his sharp decrease in shot volume appears to be the primary culprit. A dip in scoring is understandable after logging his third-lowest minute total of the season, but it's a noticeable trend that's persisted throughout the month.

Rough night Friday Murray totaled five points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 28 minutes during Friday's 133-122 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Murray managed just five points in 28 minutes, producing arguably his worst performance of the season. Coming off a 33-point effort against the Heat, Murray has bookended that performance with two rough shooting nights. He remains a clear must-roster player but managers need to be prepared for ups and downs, especially with Murray relying heavily on points and threes to sustain value.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Erupts for 33 in Wednesday's loss Murray supplied 33 points (12-18 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 loss to the Heat.

Impact After failing to produce more than 15 points in any of the prior four games, Murray broke out with his best scoring effort since he poured in 47 points against the Jazz on Dec. 16. The second-year forward averaged 17.7 points, 5.8 boards, 2.4 threes, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks through 15 games in January while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor, and he's establishing himself as one of the Kings' foundational pieces alongside De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.

Still battling cold spell Murray chipped in 15 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 40 minutes during Saturday's 120-115 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Murray is slumping from beyond the arc, posting 6-for-25 shooting across his last four games. The 23-year-old compensated by contributing defensively and finding points elsewhere, but he has posted just seven games with at least four free-throw attempts this season. He continues to possess a gigantic workload and can be considered a bounce-back candidate moving forward.

Tallies 27 points in defeat Murray ended Thursday's 126-121 loss to the Pacers with 27 points (11-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, one block and two steals over 38 minutes.

Impact Murray couldn't keep up his recent pace from three-point range (he was averaging 2.8 triples on 46.7 percent shooting over his previous five games heading into Thursday), but that didn't stop him from putting up a big offensive performance. The second-year forward finished second on Sacramento in scoring in the loss, and he chipped in nine boards to fall just shy of a double-double. Murray is prone to the occasional dud on offense, but he's also capable of putting up explosive performances, as he's recorded 25-plus points on seven occasions during the campaign and is shooting a collective 64.6 percent from the field in those outings.

Impact Murray had an inefficient first half, totaling four points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), a rebound and a block in 19 minutes. The Kings ruled him out for the remainder of the matchup at halftime, so Trey Lyles could see increased playing time during the second half. Whether Murray will be available Tuesday against the Suns remains to be seen.

Through six January appearances, Murray has reached the 20-point mark three times, reaching double-doubles twice and averaging 20.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per contest.
