Won't play due to ankle soreness Murray (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Initially listed as doubtful to play, Murray will miss his first game since Dec. 16 due to left ankle soreness. With Joel Embiid (rest) sidelined on the other side for Philadelphia, the Kings could opt to go small and move either Keon Ellis or Kevin Huerter into the starting lineup Wednesday, but Trey Lyles is also a candidate to join the first unit. Friday's matchup with Memphis marks Murray's next opportunity to play.

Nursing ankle issue Murray is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to left ankle soreness, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Murray hasn't looked quite himself lately, averaging 8.0 points on 31.8 percent shooting from the field over his last five games, though it's unclear how long he's been dealing with this injury. Doug McDermott would be a solid candidate to start in Murray's place Wednesday, assuming he's ultimately ruled out closer to tipoff.

Back-to-back poor performances Murray accumulated four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 110-100 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Murray is currently shooting a career-low 41.3% from the floor this season. He can't seem to get his shot to drop, which has become an ugly trend for the young guard in Sacramento.

Logs double-double in loss Murray totaled 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 114-113 loss to Detroit.

Impact Murray needed to step things up without Domantas Sabonis (illness) in the lineup, and he gave the team the rebound boost it needed during a poor shooting night. Absorbing Sabonis' production is no easy feat, and Murray's errant shot, coupled with tepid numbers from Alex Len diluted Sacramento's potential. The Kings stuck with Detroit despite Sabonis' absence, and his eventual return will shift Murray back into a more customary role.

Available Sunday Murray (ankle) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Murray will give it a go Sunday after receiving a questionable tag due to left ankle soreness. The 24-year-old should be able to shoulder his normal workload against Indiana, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 12.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 30.8 minutes per contest.

Iffy to face Indiana Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Impact The 24-year-old will join Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and Trey Lyles (calf) on the injury report due to left ankle soreness. If Murray is sidelined, Doug McDermott, Keon Ellis and Isaac Jones could see an uptick in playing time Sunday.

Cleared to face Lakers Murray (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.

Impact Murray will suit up Saturday after being labeled questionable due to left ankle soreness. The third-year forward is averaging a career-high 7.7 rebounds per game this season but is averaging 2.9 fewer points per game than he did in 2023-24. However, Murray would be in line for more usage Saturday if Domantas Sabonis (back) is sidelined.

Questionable to play Saturday Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Murray was sidelined for this past Monday's game against the Nuggets due to left ankle soreness. He was able to return Thursday against the Lakers and finished with 10 points, seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 35 minutes. Keon Ellis and Kevin Huerter would be the top candidates to enter the Kings' starting five Saturday if Murray is unable to play.

Officially good to go Murray (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Murray has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday despite missing Sacramento's previous contest with left ankle soreness. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 112.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 assists in 35.2 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Plans to play Thursday Murray (ankle) plans to play in Thursday's game versus the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Murray is officially listed as questionable Thursday after missing Sacramento's previous contest due to left ankle soreness. While Murray intends to play against the Lakers, his official status will likely be revealed closer to tipoff at 10 p.m. EST.

Tabbed questionable Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Murray didn't play in Monday's game due to left ankle soreness and was absent from practice Wednesday. His availability for Thursday's tilt remains up in the air, and he may need to test out the ankle pregame before being ruled in or out. If he doesn't suit up, Doug McDermott and Keon Ellis could see more opportunities.

Sits out practice Wednesday Murray (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Murray missed his first game of the 2024-25 regular season Monday due to left ankle soreness, and he's still less than 100 percent. Murray's status for Thursday's game against the Lakers is up in the air, but there should be more clarity when the Kings release their injury report Wednesday evening. If Murray misses more time, Keon Ellis and Doug McDermott could both benefit from a fantasy perspective.

Won't play Monday vs. Denver Murray (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Murray will miss his first game of the 2024-25 regular season Monday due to left ankle soreness, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Lakers. He had scored in double digits in four of the Kings' last five games and averaged 13.2 points and 7.4 rebounds across 34.4 minutes per contest over that span. Murray's absence Monday should mean more minutes for Colby Jones and Jae Crowder.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Denver Murray is questionable to play against the Nuggets on Monday due to left ankle soreness.

Impact Murray was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's a concerning sign for fantasy managers. The Kings will already be without Kevin Huerter (shoulder) as well. If Murray is unable to suit up, the Kings could potentially turn to Jae Crowder or Doug McDermott.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient in victory Murray contributed 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and nine rebounds in 34 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Murray's 18 points were his most since Nov. 24. The 24-year-old guard has struggled with his efficiency from behind the arc this season, converting just 29.9 percent of his 5.5 three-point attempts per contest.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double Murray notched 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Murray struggled from the field, as he ended with more field goal attempts than points scored, but he produced enough to deliver his eighth double-double of the season. However, given that he's gone six straight games without reaching the 15-point mark, and knowing he holds a secondary role in an offense led by the likes of DeMar DeRozan, De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, Murray isn't likely to post big numbers on a regular basis. The role he has in the Kings' offensive scheme certainly conspires against his fantasy upside.

Comes close to double-double Murray logged 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Nets.

Impact Murray was a consistent performer on both ends of the court for the Kings in this one, and he finished just two boards away from recording a double-double. This was just the third game in which Murray reached the 20-point mark, however, and his lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis, as well as his reduced role in an offensive scheme that also features Domantas Sabonis, De'Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan, limit his upside in most formats.
