Kris Murray News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Quiet in loss Murray had three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 115-112 loss to Orlando.

Impact Murray's role backing up Toumani Camara is established, as he has logged at least 18 minutes in every game he's played so far, but his production has been inconsistent, leading to season averages of 5.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks. Murray has been an integral piece to making Portland's defense among one of the best this season, but needs to step it up on the offensive end, as he has been shooting a measly 21.4 percent from the three-point line and 66.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Won't play Wednesday Murray (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Murray was a late addition to the injury report Wednesday morning due to illness, and he'll sit out the contest. The third-year wing has averaged 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 21.8 minutes per game in 2025-26. His absence should open up more minutes for Matisse Thybulle and Rayan Rupert. His next chance to play will come Friday against Denver

Downgraded to questionable Murray (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Murray wasn't on the initial injury report, but presumably, he woke up under the weather. Murray has seen an average of 21.7 minutes per contest through four games, and if he's unable to play, the Trail Blazers could use a committee approach to soak up his minutes.

Trail Blazers ink extensions and set opening night lineup

The Portland Trail Blazers have exercised their team options on contract extensions for guard Scoot Henderson, forward Kris Murray and center Donovan Clingan

OCTOBER 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Team option picked up The Trail Blazers exercised the 2026-27 team option on Murray's contract Tuesday, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.

Impact The 2023 first-rounder may not have a significant role on tap for the start of the 2025-26 season, but Portland values the versatility he offers as a depth option. Murray averaged 4.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.1 minutes per game over 69 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Scores 12 points from bench Murray tallied 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist over 19. minutes in Wednesday's 129-123 preseason loss to the Warriors.

Impact Murray returns to the Trail Blazers after his first-round selection by the team two years ago. The 25-year-old Iowa product endured a dip in minutes during his sophomore campaign, and the acquisition of Deni Avdija clouded his outlook with the team. His youth falls in line with Portland's game plan, but the wealth of talent ahead of him on the depth chart significantly reduces his fantasy viability.

Posts first double-double in finale Murray provided 10 points (4-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 109-81 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Other than a handful of spot starts in 2024-25, Murray didn't present very much appeal. However, he did record his first double-double of the campaign Sunday. Murray averaged 7.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 28.9 minutes over his six outings as a starter this season, but he shot a dreadful 32.7 percent from the floor as a member of the first unit.

Promoted to starting role Murray is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Impact Murray will replace Shaedon Sharpe (knee) in the starting lineup. The second-year forward has logged at least 20 minutes in each of his last three appearances off the bench and should be in line for a sizable uptick in workload in a starting role.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Drops season-high 18 points Murray supplied 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 win over the Spurs.

Impact Murray played a significant role Sunday, pouring in a season-high 18 points. He has now played at least 27 minutes in two straight games, an indication that he could end the season as a prominent part of the rotation. With that said, prior to his last two games, Murray had failed to score on six straight occasions.

Back to bench Murray won't start Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Murray drew a spot start Friday against the Nuggets, a game Portland surprisingly won in blowout fashion. However, with Donovan Clingan back in action, Murray will shift to a reserve role. He hasn't played more than 18 minutes in any of his last seven appearances off the bench.

Gets starting nod Friday Murray is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact The Trail Blazers will be depleted for this matchup, so Murray will get the starting nod for this contest. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have, though, as he'll start alongside Toumani Camara and Deni Avdija in the frontcourt. Murray is averaging 7.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.0 steals per game in three starts this season.

Heads back to bench Murray is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact With Toumani Camara returning from a calf injury Wednesday, it's not surprising to see Murray head back to the bench. Murray has averaged 3.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks in 13.2 minutes over his last 10 games off the bench, which significantly reduces his fantasy value.
