According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, confirmed by the Sacramento Kings, Keegan Murray has suffered a mild calf strain. An MRI was used for this diagnosis.

He will be re-evaluated in one week.

The 25-year-old has only appeared in 15 games this season, as he missed the first 15 games due to rehabbing from thumb surgery that took place in the preseason.

For Murray, he is usually a very healthy player. The least amount of games he has played in a season was 76 games (2024-25 season).

This season, he is averaging 14.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings are signing Russell Westbrook to a one-year deal worth $3.6 million.

Originally, Westbrook was with the Denver Nuggets, where he could have went back with his player option. However, he chose to leave since they were not going to use him in a productive and meaningful role.

The 36-year-old already has chemistry with players on the Kings, as he played with Domantas Sabonis when both of them were on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Westbrook has had friendships with both DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine.

Besides Sacramento showing interest in the legendary point guard, not a single other team wanted his talents.

After grueling months of not being on a team, Westbrook will officially be back in the National Basketball Association with the Kings. This will be sixth team since departing the Thunder.

According to the Sacramento Kings, they will be without Keegan Murray for at least the next four-to-six weeks due to undergoing thumb surgery.

An MRI revealed that the 25-year-old has suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb. This injury occurred during the team’s preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.

Him getting injured is a rare sight to see, as he’s only missed 13 total games of his young NBA career. Murray has started in 231 career games.

With Sacramento no longer having their starting power forward, and them not having depth at that position, head coach Doug Christie will need to come up with an alternative plan until Murray returns.
