Keegan Murray (Sacramento Kings)
October 2025
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray has suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb and will undergo surgery, ruling him out for at least four to six weeks. The injury will likely sideline him for the first 10 games of the regular season, disrupting both his contract extension talks and the team’s early momentum.
Murray sustained the injury during a preseason game against Portland, cutting short what was meant to be a pivotal year before his potential extension deadline on October 20. Known for his consistency and durability, having played 233 of 246 games since debuting, Murray’s absence leaves a major void. Dario Šarić, Malik Monk, Keon Ellis, or rookie Nique Clifford could step in alongside Dennis Schröder, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Domantas Sabonis.
