Thu Apr 1119:02Keegan Murray Will Play Versus Pelicans
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) will be in the lineup on Thursday against New Orleans. He has been upgraded from questionable to available as Murray continues to battle through a calf issue. This will be his 16th straight appearance. Murray, who set a new rookie record for most made threes a season ago, has previously found it tough against the Pelicans, averaging 9.3 points in three prior meetings in 2023-24. New Orleans has limited opponents to a league-low 34.8 percent three-point shooting, which is a major reason why Murray hasn't looked quite like himself in the matchup.

Tue Apr 914:41Keegan Murray Upgraded To Available
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) is listed as available to play in Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Left calf soreness will not keep Murray out on Tuesday, and the 23-year-old spot-up shooter is in a decent position against a Thunder team that ranks 23rd in three-pointers allowed per game (13.5). Murray's value is more pronounced in nine-category fantasy leagues that are still active, but he's still recording 16.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.9 three-pointers, and 1.7 combined steals plus blocks per game across his latest 13 appearances. Expect him to handle his usual allotment of minutes in Sacramento's starting lineup against OKC.

Mon Apr 821:33Keegan Murray Listed As Questionable On Tuesday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Murray is dealing with left calf soreness, but he hasn't missed a game in nearly a month. If he sits, Trey Lyles and Kessler Edwards would likely be asked to play bigger roles. Neither of them are looking like viable streaming options with 14 games being played on Tuesday.

Wed Mar 1320:25Keegan Murray Cleared To Play Wednesday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the Lakers. Murray sprained his left ankle during Sunday's meeting with Houston and didn't suit up on Tuesday versus Milwaukee. He was listed as questionable heading into this contest. However, he'll return after missing just one game. Of course, Murray should always be featured in any fantasy lineup. But his return may mean fewer minutes (and production) for Harrison Barnes, who had 16 points, six boards, and a steal on Tuesday night.

Tue Mar 1220:20Keegan Murray Out Versus Milwaukee
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) won't suit up on Tuesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old tweaked his ankle during Sunday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. He had been labeled as questionable throughout Tuesday. However, most fantasy managers weren't expecting him to be on the floor. Of course, with Murray absent, the door is open for Trey Lyles and Harrison Barnes to get more work. As a result, both men are viable streaming options in any fantasy setup.

Tue Mar 1209:21Keegan Murray Questionable To Face Bucks
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) could miss his fifth game of the season on Tuesday versus Milwaukee, as he has landed on the injury report as questionable. The 23-year-old sharpshooter injured his left ankle against Houston on Sunday. Murray was able to get through Monday's practice fully, so he actually might be closer to probable than questionable for the game. The former Iowa Hawkeye has been in a bit of a slump lately, averaging only 10.2 points. His last game against the Bucks went miserably as well, as Murray was limited to only four points, so he might not be a strong fantasy play on Tuesday even if he suits up. Murray's absence would put Trey Lyles and Harrison Barnes in a position to log extended minutes.

Mon Jan 1521:55Keegan Murray Questionable For Tuesday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (hip) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Murray was forced to exit early during Sunday's game due to a hip issue. His absence allowed Trey Lyles to move into the starting unit during the second half. Lyles figures to draw the start on Tuesday, assuming Murray is unable to play. Sasha Vezenkov would likely be his primary backup, but neither player has great streaming appeal.

Sun Jan 1421:22Keegan Murray Won't Return On Sunday Night
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (hip) was forced to leave the team's Sunday night contest against the Milwaukee Bucks after playing just 19 minutes. He left the game with four points, one rebound, and one block while shooting 2-for-9 from the floor. The good news is this wasn't the same back issue he experienced earlier in the season. He was listed out with right hip irritation which seems like something that will need to be monitored to understand how much time he may miss. Trey Lyles saw the extra minutes in this game once Murray left and if he needs to miss any more time, he would be the first person to see added opportunities.

Fri Dec 1 202320:13Keegan Murray Might Return On Saturday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (pelvis) might return for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The 23-year-old has improved statistically in his second season in the league, averaging 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. But he's missed the last four games due to SI joint irritation. Indeed, Murray has been a serviceable fantasy commodity during the 2023-24 campaign, so his status as a starting option shouldn't change, even though he may log fewer minutes than usual. However, his potential return would likely bump Chris Duarte back to the bench, although the former Pacer hasn't done much with his time in the starting lineup.

Fri Dec 1 202315:53Keegan Murray Practices On Friday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has missed the last four consecutive games as he deals with a back injury but he is officially trending in the right direction. Murray was able to practice as a full participant on Friday and the team will wait until later on in the day to see how he feels for their Saturday contest against the Denver Nuggets. If he's back on the court, Murray is a must-start player and Chris Duarte will head back to the bench while Sasha Vezenkov will likely see fewer minutes off of the bench.

Wed Nov 29 202318:12Keegan Murray Remains Out Against Clippers
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Los Angeles Clippers. Murray experienced lower-back soreness that limited him to 16 minutes of action on Nov. 20, and he hasn't been seen on the court ever since. Murray now sets his sights toward Saturday's meeting against the Denver Nuggets, which is the third contest of Sacramento's current five-game homestand. The 23-year-old marksman is netting 13.2 points, 2.1 threes, and 1.4 steals in 33.1 minutes per night in the second season of his professional career. Head coach Mike Brown hopes for one of Kevin Huerter, Malik Monk, or Harrison Barnes to catch fire and make up for the absence of Murray's sharpshooting ways on Wednesday against the Clippers.

Tue Nov 28 202315:52Keegan Murray Won't Suit Up Against Warriors
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) will not play in Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game versus the Golden State Warriors. Murray experienced lower-back soreness that restricted him to 16 minutes of play on Nov. 20, and he hasn't been seen on the hardwood ever since. Sacramento has a quick turnaround with another contest on tap for Wednesday vs. the Los Angeles Clippers, so we'll see if Murray's pain tolerance allows him to suit up by then, but it's worth noting he was not present at Tuesday's shootaround. The 23-year-old spot-up shooter is bringing in 13.2 points, 2.1 three-pointers, and 1.4 swipes in 33.1 minutes per night during his second season. Head coach Mike Brown will hope at least one hot hand is established between the likes of Kevin Huerter, Malik Monk, and Chris Duarte to help plug up Murray's absence on Tuesday. A direct fantasy beneficiary has yet to form over the past three games that the 2022 No. 4 overall pick has missed.

Mon Nov 27 202321:27Keegan Murray Doubtful For Tuesday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The young forward was able to practice on Monday, which is good news towards his status for Tuesday. Murray has been sidelined for over a week due to a lingering back issue. His absence would likely mean Chris Duarte would remain in the starting five. Murray would likely be limited if he does play, but it seems unlikely right now. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update.

Thu Nov 23 202320:53Keegan Murray To Remain Out On Friday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The young forward will miss at least one more game while he deals with lower back soreness. His absence means that Chris Duarte should remain in the starting five on Friday. He finished with six points and two assists in 20 minutes of action during their last game. Fellow forward Trey Lyles was the better option between the two with 12 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes on Wednesday. Both players could be possible deep league streaming options with Murray on the sideline for at least one more game.

Wed Nov 22 202315:48No Shootaround For Keegan Murray Wednesday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) wasn't spotted at morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday's rematch against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Sacramento Bee's Chris Biderman views Murray as "likely out" for Wednesday, after the Iowa product left on Monday against New Orleans following 16 minutes of play due to lower-back soreness. It puts Murray on the wrong side of the questionable tag and probably closer to doubtful. The 23-year-old sharpshooter may only be converting a dismal 28.9% of his threes, but he's expanding other dimensions of his game in Year 2 with 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 combined steals and blocks per game. Sacramento wraps up a taxing six-game road trip on Friday against the Timberwolves in Minnesota. Malik Monk is the most likely candidate to soak up the bulk of Murray's minutes, assuming he's out on Wednesday, while reigning EuroLeague MVP Sasha Vezenkov and Chris Duarte could be more involved.

Tue Nov 21 202321:30Keegan Murray Considered Questionable For Wednesday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Murray was forced to exit early during Monday's game due to back spasms. It's worth noting that fellow forward Trey Lyles (calf) is listed as questionable for this game as well. That being said, the Kings could be shorthanded if both Murray and Lyles are unable to play. Sasha Vezenkov and Kessler Edwards would likely see extended roles if the Kings are down a forward or two on Wednesday. Both players could be possible streaming options if given extended minutes.

Mon Nov 20 202321:50Keegan Murray Won't Return On Monday
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It sounds like Murray is dealing with a lower back issue. The Kings were already down 30 at halftime, so they will elect to hold out Murray for the rest of this game. The severity of the injury is unknown, so we'll see if Murray suits up for Wednesday's contest. Until then, Kessler Edwards will likely see a bigger role in the rotation, which could give him some streaming appeal if Murray misses time.

Wed Oct 25 202318:44Keegan Murray Set To Return For Opener
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (illness) is good to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Utah Jazz. Murray was inactive for last Thursday's exhibition finale, after he put together a promising three-game preseason with 14.7 points on 51.4% shooting, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 threes, and 1.0 steals. The 23-year-old yielded encouraging rookie-year results as an elite spot-up shooter in a high-powered Kings offense but will need to expand on his overall contributions to make a Year 2 jump as a popular breakout candidate in fantasy circles. Murray should most significantly help in the threes and turnovers categories to start the season, and it remains to be seen if he can vault into the top 100, or better, in 2023-24.
