Murray ended Monday's 123-118 double-overtime victory over the Heat with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block across 43 minutes.
Murray got back to form in the win over the Heat, filling up the stat sheet with a double-double while hitting his second-highest total from deep (4-for-6) this season. It was the 11th time this season that Murray has posted a double-double, which is a good sign after missing two of the last four games for the Kings due to an ankle injury.

Rotowire
Murray (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Murray has missed the past two games for the Kings, but he appears to be trending in the right direction -- he was able to do some individual work at Saturday's practice. If Murray isn't able to suit up for the first leg of this back-to-back set, Keon Ellis and Trey Lyles could see extended run.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Nursing ankle issue
Rotowire
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.
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.
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.
Murray is currently shooting a career-low 41.3 percent from the floor this season. He can't seem to get his shot to drop, which has become an ugly trend for the young wing in Sacramento.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Logs double-double in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

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.

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.
