Overview
- Murray re-aggravated his left ankle on Feb. 26 against the Rockets and left after nine minutes following an awkward landing while contesting Clint Capela.
- The team labeled the injury a mild sprain and set a two-week re-evaluation timeline with 21 regular-season games remaining.
- He has appeared in only 23 games this season after thumb surgery and separate calf, back, and earlier ankle issues, including a 20-game layoff in January.
- The fourth-year forward is averaging 14.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in 34.5 minutes with 27% three-point shooting.
- Sacramento owns the NBA's worst record at 14-47, and with Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis, and De'Andre Hunter already lost to season-ending surgeries, outside speculation has surfaced about exercising caution with Murray's return.
