GAME LOG

Coming off bench again Sunday Murray will come off the bench Sunday against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Impact After missing the opener due to COVID-19 protocols, Murray made his debut Saturday against the Clippers and looked good in 33 minutes. The Iowa product posted 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting (3-6 3Pt) to go with five rebounds, two assists and two blocks. At some point, it's expected that Murray will move into the starting lineup over KZ Okpala, but for the time being he appears to be the Kings' sixth man. Despite starting Saturday's game, Okpala played only 18 minutes.

Records double-double in loss Sabonis finished with 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Sabonis partially redeemed himself in his second game with a more characteristic result. Still, Sabonis lacks the fantasy pop that he demonstrated several times last season. Fantasy managers should be patient, as his numbers are bound to climb, and Saturday's double-double was an encouraging sign.
OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Explosive with 36 points Fox recorded 36 points (15-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Fox's result usually correlates directly with the Kings' success, and thanks to Fox, they nearly pulled off an upset. Fox scored 69 points over his first two games, and when you consider the total loss margin of the first two games was only nine points, Fox may be directing the best 0-2 team in the league.
OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Excellent line in debut Murray amassed 19 points (7-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 33 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Murray contributed 33 minutes from the bench and looked free of any injury concerns. The Kings may play it cautiously with Murray, so it'll be crucial to watch for late scratches on back-to-backs. It will be intriguing to see how the lineup changes once Murray is playing full-time. Harrison Barnes could be in for a sharp decrease in playing time if Murray keeps posting decent totals.

Keegan Murray Makes NBA DEBUT, 19 PTS Full Highlights vs Clippers 🔥
OCTOBER 23, 2022 • YOUTUBE
Set for debut Saturday as expected Murray will make his NBA debut Saturday against the Clippers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Murray was expected to join the action after clearing protocols and practicing the last couple of days, and that is confirmed to be the case. The rookie big man lit it up in Summer League and posted a strong pair of preseason efforts prior to being placed into protocols. He will be a major factor for the Kings in 2022-23 and figures to be among the favorites in the Rookie of the Year race.
OCTOBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to play Saturday Murray has cleared the health and safety protocols and will likely make his NBA debut Saturday, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Murray should make his highly anticipated debut against the Clippers on Saturday following a bout with Covid-19. The fourth overall pick is expected to slide into the starting power forward slot and, after booking a full practice on Friday, should face little-to-no restrictions.
OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Practices again Friday Murray (COVID-19 protocols) practiced Friday, Frankie Cartoscelli of Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Impact Murray appears to have a strong chance of debuting Saturday after missing the opener due to COVID-19 protocols. He's expected to start this season, and with minimal help at forward behind him, it shouldn't surprise anyone if he sees 30-plus minutes per game.

Practices Thursday Murray (COVID-19 protocols) participated in Thursday's practice session, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Murray participated in Wednesday's shootaround after clearing the league's health and safety protocols, but he was unavailable for the Kings' regular-season opener against the Trail Blazers. However, he continues to trend in the right direction ahead of Saturday's game against the Clippers, and it certainly seems possible that he'll gain clearance for his season debut then.

Excels off bench Davis totaled 14 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 115-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Davis made the most of his 25 minutes, and he figures to be a reliable offensive spark with the Kings' second unit in 2022. He started in 11 of 30 games last season, which ended abruptly with a season-ending wrist injury. With an influx of new faces, Davis may have lost his place in line to become a solid fantasy contributor, but he's one injury away from claiming a more significant role.

Tepid performance in opener Sabonis contributed 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 115-108 loss to t...
Impact Next to Jerami Grant's performance, Sabonis' subpar showing was the biggest surprise of the evening. The Trail Blazers applied maximum pressure to the big man, and he eventually fouled out to end a frustrating evening. His four-rebound result marked his worst regular-season performance in the category since last December as a Pacer against Miami.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sheds injury tag and scores 23 Huerter closed with 23 points (8-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 115-108 loss to Portland.
Impact If Wednesday's game is any indication, Huerter has landed in a plum spot with the Kings. Huerter consistently played around 30 minutes and was a starter roughly two-thirds of the time during his four-year tenure with Atlanta. Due to his sharpshooting skills beyond the arc, Huerter fits the mold left by Buddy Hield. Although there is ample competition on the depth chart, it appears that the 24-year-old will have the first shot at the off-guard position.
OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Falls short with 33 points Fox ended with 33 points (12-21 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-108 loss to Portland.
Impact Fox did all he could to will his squad to victory, posting a spectacular line in the loss. The Kings were slightly favored at home, but Sacramento's game plan didn't seem to account for Jerami Grant, and Fox had his hands full opposite Damian Lillard as well. He'll try to build upon his production against the Clippers this Saturday.
