Kings' Keegan Murray: Approved for contact
Rotowire
Murray (ankle) is making good progress in his recovery and has been approved to participate in contact basketball activities, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Murray has battled a left ankle injury for most of the calendar year, and while he's making progress, each day that goes by lowers his chances of returning in 2025-26. The Kings sit at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, so there's little incentive to rush Murray back.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Will be re-evaluated in two weeks
Rotowire
Murray (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
Re-evaluated doesn't mean Murray will return in two weeks, and with the Kings holding the worst record in the Western Conference, there's not much incentive for the fourth-year forward to rush back to the court. Precious Achiuwa has been the primary beneficiary in Murray's absence thus far.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Out for at least two weeks
Rotowire
Murray will have his sprained left ankle re-evaluated by medical staff in two weeks, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
The injury is to the same ankle that caused Murray to miss 20 consecutive games from early January to post-All-Star break. The Kings will take a cautious approach with the fourth-year forward, who could be back in action in mid-March depending on how well he progresses in his recovery. Nique Clifford, Malik Monk and Daeqwon Plowden are all candidates for increased roles for as long as Murray is sidelined.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Won't return Wednesday
Rotowire

Murray injured his left ankle -- the same ankle that cost him 20 games from Jan. 6 to Feb. 11 -- in the first quarter Wednesday and is unable to return. He'll end the contest with three points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one block across nine minutes. Look for Patrick Baldwin and Daeqwon Plowden to see more playing time for the rest of Wednesday's contest. Sacramento closes out a back-to-back set Thursday against Dallas.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Turns in 20 points
Rotowire
Murray finished with 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 139-122 loss to San Antonio.
Murray tied DeMar DeRozan for the Kings' highest scoring total. With Zach LaVine (finger) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) done for the season, there's tremendous pressure on Murray to carry a heavy load on both sides of the ball. While heavy usage should be expected nightly for Murray if he stays healthy, his lack of support may negatively affect his ability to post consistent totals down the stretch.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Hits for 15 in return
Rotowire
Murray totaled 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 loss to the Magic.
Seeing his first action since Jan. 4 after recovering from an ankle injury, Murray was dropped right back into the starting five and saw a full workload. With Domantas Sabonis (knee) set to miss the rest of the season, Murray will be the key figure for the Kings in their frontcourt. On the season, the fourth-year forward is averaging 14.6 points, 6.3 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.4 threes and 1.1 steals over 20 games.
Murray (ankle) said he's good to go Thursday against the Magic, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Murray has been sidelined since early January due to his ankle injury, but he was cleared for on-court activities Feb. 3 and has since been given the green light. Given where the Kings are in the standings, the team could be cautious with his workload moving forward. However, they're also shorthanded, so there'll be plenty of minutes available if he can handle them.
