Wed Apr 9 | 09:14 | Keegan Murray In Danger Of Missing Third Straight Contest |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. He may have to skip a third consecutive game due to lower back inflammation. Trey Lyles is likely to log another start if Murray cannot return to the lineup. Lyles has seen heavy usage over the last couple of games, averaging 39.0 minutes a night, but his efforts have not translated well into fantasy basketball. In the two starts, Lyles has averaged 7.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. |

Mon Apr 7 | 18:36 | Keegan Murray Sits Out Monday's Game |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. He sat out Sunday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a back problem and is not ready to return for Monday night, with the team downgrading Murray's status from questionable to out. Trey Lyles figures to remain in the starting lineup as Murray's replacement. He had a fairly quiet outing against the Cavaliers on Sunday, finishing with seven points, eight rebounds, and two steals in 40 minutes. However, the Pistons had trouble stopping Lyles in this season's first head-to-head matchup when he fired in four three-point bombs during a 20-point effort. |

Mon Apr 7 | 15:58 | Keegan Murray Questionable On Monday With Back Issue |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons while he deals with back soreness. Murray has only been forced to miss three games all season, and this could be his second consecutive absence due to the back issue. While he sat out their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Trey Lyles moved into the starting lineup and received 40 minutes. In that time, he posted seven points, eight rebounds, one assist, and two steals while shooting 2-for-6 from the floor. Lyles isn't a great option for streaming or DFS lineups even if Murray doesn't play, so fantasy managers should take a look at some different teams for that purpose. |

Sun Jan 5 | 16:25 | Keegan Murray Will Play On Sunday |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Murray will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to an ankle injury. The 24-year-old has been on a cold streak recently, but he's still worth starting in season-long formats due to his upside. The expectation is that Murray will have his full workload on Sunday despite missing two games in a row. Fantasy managers should go ahead and get him in their lineups ahead of tip-off. |

Fri Jan 3 | 21:56 | Keegan Murray Sidelined Again On Friday |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Grizzlies. He'll now be sidelined for a second-straight contest, recently missing Wednesday's win over the 76ers because of ankle soreness. Keon Ellis got the start, finishing with nine points. But he shined most on the defensive end, amassing four steals and two blocks. Ellis will start again on Friday night, although the debut of Devin Carter could mean he'll be less productive. |

Wed Jan 1 | 19:48 | Keegan Murray Ruled Out Against Philly |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) will not play on Wednesday against the 76ers. The 24-year-old has struggled during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging only 11.6 points, a career-low, with 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists. Fortunately, he's at least stayed healthy, missing just his second game of the year on Wednesday night. Without him, Trey Lyles could benefit the most, even if he doesn't start. |

Wed Jan 1 | 08:04 | Keegan Murray Unlikely To Play On Wednesday |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) is doubtful to play on Wednesday versus Philadelphia. He's nursing soreness in his left ankle. Murray has missed only one game this season so far. Doug McDermott replaced him in the starting five versus Denver on Dec. 16. The veteran has had three starts overall in 2024-25, averaging 8.7 points in 20.3 minutes in the first unit. McDermott is a three-point specialist and usually doesn't provide much else for fantasy managers. He might even struggle to get his shots to drop on Wednesday, as the 76ers guard the three-point line well. |

Sun Dec 22 2024 | 16:13 | Keegan Murray Available On Sunday |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Murray was tagged as questionable coming into this game due to left ankle soreness. However, Murray has now been cleared and will suit up for this game. He posted a dud on Saturday, but fantasy managers in season-long formats should feel comfortable getting Murray back in their lineups here. Fellow big man Domantas Sabonis (ankle) remains questionable for this game, so Murray could play a larger role if Sabonis sits out. |

Sat Dec 21 2024 | 12:19 | Keegan Murray Questionable For Saturday Night |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Lakers. The 24-year-old has been dealing with left ankle soreness of late. It kept him out of a recent meeting with the Nuggets. However, he was back on the floor against the Lakers on Thursday night, the first of consecutive games between the clubs. Sacramento will face Indiana on Sunday evening, so Murray could sit this one out to rest. If that's the case, Doug McDermott, amassing 16 points when Murray was out versus Denver, could find himself back in the starting lineup. But with Trey Lyles (calf), who is questionable, potentially returning from a 10-game layoff, McDermott could see less than the 27 minutes he received on Thursday, significantly lowering his fantasy ceiling and streaming value. |

Wed Dec 18 2024 | 21:49 | Keegan Murray Misses Wednesdayâs Practice |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) did not practice Wednesday as he continues to deal with left ankle soreness. Murray missed his first game of the season on Monday, and his status for Thursday's matchup against the Lakers remains uncertain. Fantasy managers should monitor updates as more clarity emerges. The 24-year-old has been a key contributor for the Kings this season, averaging 36.2 minutes, 12.4 points, and 7.7 rebounds per game, so his absence could open up opportunities for Keon Ellis and Doug McDermott. |

Mon Dec 16 2024 | 20:21 | Keegan Murray Officially Ruled Out For Monday's Game Against Nuggets |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) has officially been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Nuggets. Murray has been dealing with ankle soreness that will now force him to miss his first game of the season. With the 24-year-old inactive, and Kevin Huerter being ruled out with a left AC joint sprain, Sacramento will be missing two important three point threats. Expect them to turn to either Doug McDermott or Jae Crowder, or potentially both, to pick up the slack. The more likely option to get more playing time and volume tonight is McDermott, who averaged 15 minutes per game through a six-game stretch in November, though he only averaged 5.0 PPG on 5.3 FGA in that stretch. Both McDermott and Crowder will be volatile fantasy and DFS options on Monday. |

If the 24-year-old is unable to step on the court this evening, Doug McDermott and Jae Crowder could soak up some of the extra minutes available. |

Thu Apr 11 2024 | 19:02 | Keegan Murray Will Play Versus Pelicans |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) will be in the lineup on Thursday against New Orleans. He has been upgraded from questionable to available as Murray continues to battle through a calf issue. This will be his 16th straight appearance. Murray, who set a new rookie record for most made threes a season ago, has previously found it tough against the Pelicans, averaging 9.3 points in three prior meetings in 2023-24. New Orleans has limited opponents to a league-low 34.8 percent three-point shooting, which is a major reason why Murray hasn't looked quite like himself in the matchup. |

Tue Apr 9 2024 | 14:41 | Keegan Murray Upgraded To Available |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) is listed as available to play in Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Left calf soreness will not keep Murray out on Tuesday, and the 23-year-old spot-up shooter is in a decent position against a Thunder team that ranks 23rd in three-pointers allowed per game (13.5). Murray's value is more pronounced in nine-category fantasy leagues that are still active, but he's still recording 16.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.9 three-pointers, and 1.7 combined steals plus blocks per game across his latest 13 appearances. Expect him to handle his usual allotment of minutes in Sacramento's starting lineup against OKC. |

Mon Apr 8 2024 | 21:33 | Keegan Murray Listed As Questionable On Tuesday |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Murray is dealing with left calf soreness, but he hasn't missed a game in nearly a month. If he sits, Trey Lyles and Kessler Edwards would likely be asked to play bigger roles. Neither of them are looking like viable streaming options with 14 games being played on Tuesday. |

Wed Mar 13 2024 | 20:25 | Keegan Murray Cleared To Play Wednesday |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the Lakers. Murray sprained his left ankle during Sunday's meeting with Houston and didn't suit up on Tuesday versus Milwaukee. He was listed as questionable heading into this contest. However, he'll return after missing just one game. Of course, Murray should always be featured in any fantasy lineup. But his return may mean fewer minutes (and production) for Harrison Barnes, who had 16 points, six boards, and a steal on Tuesday night. |

Tue Mar 12 2024 | 20:20 | Keegan Murray Out Versus Milwaukee |
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) won't suit up on Tuesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old tweaked his ankle during Sunday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. He had been labeled as questionable throughout Tuesday. However, most fantasy managers weren't expecting him to be on the floor. Of course, with Murray absent, the door is open for Trey Lyles and Harrison Barnes to get more work. As a result, both men are viable streaming options in any fantasy setup. |
