Keegan Murray has been enjoying the view from the Sacramento Kings' bench since his preseason injury. At some point, he's going to make his return, and Murray will absolutely have to take his game up several notches. He got his bag; now it's time to be that guy.
The Kings selected Murray fourth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft. He's now technically in his fourth season with Sacramento, though he hasn't played yet in 2025-2026. During the preseason, he sustained a severe thumb injury that required surgery.
At this point, he's not expected back for two to four more weeks.
