New Year, same Sacramento Kings. The team rang in 2026 by dropping a hard loss at home to the Boston Celtics on New Year's Day. A big part of the loss was Keegan Murray, who had a terrible shooting evening. For the Kings to make any kind of progress, Murray has to get into a rhythm now.
Keegna Murray had a tough start to the season. A preseason thumb injury required surgery, shelving him for a few weeks. Fans were happy to see him back, but his performance was inconsistent. He had great games, but they were interspersed with mediocrity, particularly on offense.
