Kris Murray's minutes have trended downward this season for the Portland Trail Blazers. In March, Portland's former first-round selection is averaging 15.4 minutes per game. That's a noticeable decline for someone who's averaging 23.4 minutes per game on the season and has even started in 15 games.
Murray was previously seeing a large role out of necessity, as head coach Tiago Splitter had few other options. But now the Blazers are getting healthier at the right time as they look to make a playoff push out west, which has caused Murray to take a back seat as Splitter finally has more reliable options at his disposal.
