Stays hot in win Murray ended Monday's 143-131 victory over the Wizards with 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes.

Impact Murray has buried 16 of 22 three-point attempts over his last two games, which have represented his two largest scoring outputs of the season. He's arguably the hottest shooter in basketball, but a tougher task awaits on Wednesday against the Celtics, who limited Murray to just three points when these two teams met last season.

Murray leads Sacramento against Washington after 47-point game

Sacramento hosts the Washington Wizards after Keegan Murray scored 47 points in the Sacramento Kings' 125-104 win over the Utah Jazz

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • Associated Press

Scores career-high 47 points Murray closed with 47 points (16-23 FG, 12-15 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 125-104 win over the Jazz.

Impact Murray drilled twelve three-pointers, flirting with Klay Thompson's record of 14 threes in a single game. Murray's place in the starting lineup this season is indicative of the team's investment in the Iowa product, and Saturday's performance was the best glimpse of his potential since joining the Kings. Although Murray's floor is much lower, his shot volume could increase somewhat after this confidence boost.

Keegan Murray made 12 3-pointers, two shy of the NBA record, and scored a career-high 47 points to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 125-104 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday nig...

Scores team-high 17 points Murray ended with 17 points (6-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-99 loss to the Clippers.

Impact If the Kings' top scorer only netted 17 points, it's likely a pretty bad night for the Kings, and especially unlikely since it was Murray who turned in the number. The starting lineup sputtered for most of the game, and the Clippers were in command throughout the contest. Murray played quite well during Sacramento's stint in the In-Season Tournament and frequently posts double-digit scoring totals to complement solid games off the glass.

Efficient in win over Nets Murray contributed 24 points (9-13 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 131-118 win over the Nets.

Impact Murray had quite a few ups and downs to start the season, but he seems to be trending in the right direction -- he has scored in double digits in three straight contests, and this 24-point output was his second-best mark of the entire campaign. Despite the uptick in numbers, Murray hasn't been able to improve substantially on his rookie year, but the recent signs suggest he's trending in the right direction.

Available for Friday Murray (back) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.

Light role in return Murray (back) played 23 minutes and finished with eight points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in Saturday's 123-117 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Making his return from a four-game absence due to joint irritation in his lower back, Murray took back his spot in the starting five, but he wasn't particularly effective during his time on the court and saw his playing time suppressed as a result. Murray may need a few games to shake off the rust, but he should eventually reclaim a steady 30-plus-minute role. However, expect some inconsistency with his production, which has been a familiar refrain through Murray's first two seasons in the league.

Suiting up against Denver Murray (back) is available for Saturday's game versus the Nuggets, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Murray has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday after missing the previous four games with back soreness. The second-year forward will likely replace Chris Duarte in the starting five against Denver.

DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable Murray (back) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Nuggets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Murray has missed the Kings' four previous games, but it looks like he will have a chance to return Saturday. He logged a full practice Friday, which indicates he is trending in the right direction. Still, more clarity on his status is unlikely to come until closer to game time. Chris Duarte, Sasha Vezenkov and Tre Lyles are all candidates to see increased run should he ultimately sit again.

Full go at practice Murray (back) was a full participant during Friday's practice, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Murray has missed four straight games due to joint irritation in his lower back, but it appears he'll have a chance to suit up Saturday versus Denver, though his official status for that contest won't be known until Sacramento releases its injury report Friday afternoon. If Murray returns, he may be subject to a minute restriction, but his presence would mean reduced playing time for Chris Duarte, Sasha Vezenkov and Trey Lyles.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Wednesday Murray (back) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Clippers.

Impact Murray's absence streak will extend to four games Wednesday due to joint irritation in his lower back. He will have extra time to recover ahead of Saturday's matchup with Denver.

Officially out Tuesday Murray (back) will not play Tuesday against Golden State, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Murray was initially listed as doubtful Monday and he's missed Sacramento's last two games, so his inactive status Tuesday isn't surprising. Chris Duarte has logged two starts in his absence, while Trey Lyles will also help fill Murray's void in the frontcourt.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Tuesday Murray (back) is listed as doubtful to play Tuesday against Golden State.

Impact Murray is dealing with irritation to the sacroiliac joint in his lower back. Despite fully practicing Monday, Sacramento appears to be erring on the side of caution with Murray's back. If he misses his third consecutive game Tuesday, Trey Lyles will likely absorb the majority of his usage. Kessler Edwards could see increased run as well, although he and Sasha Vezenkov have been inconsistently incorporated of late.
