While Keegan Murray is making progress in his recovery from a left ankle sprain, he’ll be out at least two more weeks, which is the next time he’ll be reevaluated, the Kings announced in a press release (Twitter link via James Ham of TheKingsBeat.com).
After appearing in 80, 77, and 76 regular season games over his first three years in the NBA, Murray has been beset by health problems in 2025/26. The fourth-year forward’s season debut was delayed until November 20 after he underwent surgery on his left thumb; he later missed a pair of games in December due to a mild calf strain; then he missed several weeks with a moderate left ankle sprain.
Murray re-injured his ankle on Feb. 25, his fourth game back from the initial sprain, which he suffered on Jan. 4. Murray has been limited to 23 appearances this season, averaging 14.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steal on .420/.277/.776 shooting in 34.5 minutes per game. Those 1.6 blocks per game would represent a career high for the former Iowa standout, though his FG% and 3PT% are at career low rates.
The Kings also provided an update on Devin Carter, who was injured during his career night on Tuesday. The second-year guard underwent an MRI on his right calf, which revealed a deep soft-tissue contusion. Carter is considered day-to-day, per the team.
Sacramento is currently 16-51, the worst record in the Western Conference and second-worst mark in the league.
