Sabonis sustained a Grade-1 left hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in a week, sidelining him for the opener at Phoenix and the home debut versus Utah. Keegan Murray remains out following thumb surgery. Injury occurred in preseason versus the Clippers. Sacramento will stagger usage through backup bigs and handoff sets redistributed across guards/wings, protecting re-injury risk with progressive running, eccentrics, and change-of-direction testing before clearance.

Murray is set for a five-year 140 million dollar deal to stay in Sacramento after averaging 12.4 points and 6.7 rebounds with durable availability across three seasons. Extension secures a two-way forward in his mid-prime as the Kings prioritize continuity around spacing and size while he rehabs for an on-time return.

Keegan Murray sidelined after thumb ligament tear

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.
