Keegan Murray is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat with a left ankle issue, though the injury report still lists him as Out. The Kings are 1-8 and have a thin rotation to work with if he sits.
What happened
The injury report updated Saturday at 8:40 PM ET and lists Keegan Murray as Out with a left ankle and leg issue. His previous status was also Out. The report's comment is more open: "Murray (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat." The report gives Nov. 8 as his expected return date. This is the same area that kept him in and out of the lineup in October. He was Day-To-Day on Oct. 24, Out on Oct. 25, Day-To-Day on Oct. 26 and Out again on Oct. 27. Before that, he was cleared from an earlier Day-To-Day tag on Oct. 10.
What it means for the Kings
Sacramento plays the Heat on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 9:00 PM ET. The Kings are 1-8, sit 14th and have lost two straight. Murray, 26, has played two games in 2026-27. He averages 27.2 minutes, 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists. Sacramento is 0-2 with him and 1-6 without him. When he sits, the minutes go to the main rotation. Darius Acuff Jr. averages 36.8 minutes and 25.2 points in those games. Domantas Sabonis plays 35.5 minutes and Zach LaVine 33.5. De'Andre Hunter gets 31.2, Precious Achiuwa 26.6 and Leaky Black 19.0. Ben Simmons and Maxime Raynaud are also Out.
What to watch
The next injury report will settle whether Murray's questionable tag becomes available or Out. The report lists Nov. 8 as his expected return date, which is the day of the Heat game. No longer timeline has been announced. Watch whether his minutes are held down if he plays, given the ankle history from October. Sacramento then looks to snap a two-game losing streak. Simmons and Raynaud remain Out, so the Kings have little depth to absorb another absence.
