Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's exhibition contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The young forward is dealing with right thumb soreness, so the Kings will take the cautious approach here. The injury isn't believed to be serious, but the Kings don't have any reason to risk an injury in a meaningless game. Sasha Vezenkov will move into the starting five for Wednesday's contest. Vezenkov looked good on Sunday, but reportedly isn't expected to be part of the rotation to begin the season. Vezenkov will get a chance to prove he belongs on Wednesday.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray had another outstanding Summer League outing on Wednesday, scoring a game-high 41 points on 11-for-20 shooting against Miami. While leading his team to a 95-83 victory, the fourth pick of the 2022 draft went 6-for-11 from behind the arc and had a 13-for-15 record at the line. Murray also led all players with four blocks, and he registered five rebounds with one assist and one steal. The 22-year-old started this year's Summer League action with a 29-point effort against Golden State, showing across the two games that he's clearly too good for the competition. Following Wednesday's game, it was also announced that Murray won't be involved in any more Summer League games.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray scored a game-high 29 points in Monday's Summer League win over the Golden State Warriors. Murray logged 31 minutes, going 8-for-17 from the field and 3-for-9 from deep. He also missed just one of his 11 attempts from the charity stripe while amassing two steals. The 22-year-old averaged 12.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and shot 41.1% from deep as a rookie. As a result, his fantasy stock was already high, although it should continue to grow heading into the 2023-24 campaign.

The Sacramento Kings were one of the teams linked with Bradley Beal, but according to The Athletic's David Aldridge, the talks broke down when Washington wanted to include Keegan Murray in the deal. It appears as though Murray has had admirers in D.C. for a while, as Aldridge added that the Wizards looked to move up in last year's draft to get their hands on the Iowa product. Murray had an up-and-down rookie campaign but should be satisfied with his overall work, having averaged 12.2 points and 4.6 rebounds with 41.6 percent shooting from three-point range. The 22-year-old should only get better with experience, and it looks like the Kings have all the faith in the world in him, with recent reports suggesting that Murray will remain a starter in 2023-24 even if Sacramento strikes a deal with Euro star Sasha Vezenkov.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray surpassed 200 three-pointers made on Tuesday during the team's big win over the New Orleans Pelicans. He currently owns the record for most threes made in a rookie season when he broke Donovan Mitchell's previous record of 187, but he furthered the record, even more, when he hit seven more threes on Tuesday. The rookie finished the game with 21 points, six rebounds, one assist, and one block on 7-for-12 shooting from the floor and 7-for-10 from beyond the arc.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray broke out of a slump with a career-high 30 points in Monday's 140-120 win over Houston. After posting only seven points in his first three February appearances, Murray started quietly again but eventually hit his stride and even ended up setting a franchise record for most triples made in a game by a rookie with eight. He shot 11-for-17 overall from the field and notched six rebounds with one assist and two steals. Times haven't been great for Murray lately, but he has a great opportunity to build on his Monday's game in the next outing, as the Kings are set to face the miserable Rockets against Wednesday.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. It sounds like the rookie avoided serious injury and it's only left thumb soreness. His absence would likely mean KZ Okpala moves into the starting five with Terence Davis (back) questionable as well. Otherwise, Davis would be the streaming option here if he's cleared to play on Sunday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update before Sunday's game.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) looks to be on his way to returning to the lineup Sunday versus Detroit, with him being listed as probable for the contest after fully participating in Saturday's practice. He sat out Thursday's action against San Antonio with lower back soreness after exiting Tuesday's win over Brooklyn with the issue. Murray has been a very inconsistent performer lately, but he's enjoyed a strong rookie campaign overall, averaging 12.0 points, with 3.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks. The 22-year-old only recently joined the starting unit, so his numbers are bound to improve and fantasy managers should simply remain patient.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has been downgraded to doubtful and is not expected to play Thursday versus the Spurs. He exited Tuesday's win over Brooklyn with a back issue and was already questionable for the contest. It's been an unfortunate turn of events for the 22-year-old rookie after he had one the best outing of his young career with 21 points against the Warriors last Sunday. Trey Lyles and Chimezie Metu might see more action than usual with Murray missing, although it was actually Terence Davis who ended up benefitting the most from Murray's exit on Tuesday, exploding for 31 points off the bench. There will be a starter's spot available, and it might even be Malik Monk who gets the trust to play a bigger role.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) is deemed questionable for Thursday night's matchup against the Spurs. The rookie exited Tuesday's win over Brooklyn after 12 minutes because of lower back soreness, so it's certainly possible he won't be out there for the meeting with San Antonio. If that's the case, Trey Lyles and Chimezie Metu could see more work, although both men are unpredictable fantasy performers.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray received his first starting nod on Thursday night and delivered some solid numbers. The fourth overall pick finished the night with 18 points and six rebounds on 7-for-15 shooting overall and 3-for-8 from deep. In only three games so far, the rookie is putting up 17.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. The other stats are bound to come with more playing time as his playing time continues to be above 30 minutes per game. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues and dynasty formats should have him on their team already. Smaller leagues might still want to wait until he gives more all-around performances.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray will enter the starting five on Thursday versus Memphis, replacing KZ Okpala. This will be a special night for the 22-year-old rookie, although the move is pretty much only a formality. Murray has already logged starter's minutes, and in fact, he leads the team with 35.5 minutes per game. The Iowa product has already proven himself as an efficient scorer in the league and he should be set for a great campaign if he can stay healthy.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray will join the starting five for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It was just a matter of time before Murray overtook KZ Okpala for the starting role. Murray will be making his first career start against the Grizzlies. The No. 4 overall pick is expected to be a big part of the Kings rotation this season. He should see the ball in his hands quite often, which could mean lower usage for guys like Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray is available to make his season debut on Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The rookie forward missed the season opener due to health and safety protocols. It's uncertain whether or not Murray is actually going to suit up for this contest. KZ Okpala started during the season opener, but mainly contributed on the defensive side of the ball. Murray has much more potential and should eventually take over as the starting forward. The 22-year-old appears ready to finally make an impact in the rotation.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray is currently away from the organization. The rookie forward has been away from the team since October 15 due to health and safety protocols. Head coach Mike Brown mentioned he wants to get the 22-year-old some practice time before getting him into real game action. That being said, KZ Okpala is expected to be the starter to begin the season. He is a reliable defender, but doesn't bring much to the court in terms of offense. The expectation is that Murray will take over as the starter once he's fully ready to get back into game action. It sounds like Murray could miss the first few weeks of the season, so Okpala could be an interesting short term option for fantasy managers.
