The G-League, the final phase of Keegan Murray’s recovery
Finally a clearing in a very dark sky Kings. In a difficult situation with a six-game losing streak weakening a team that is not lacking in talent, it shouldn’t take long for Sacramento to reintegrate Keegan Murray. left thumb operated on in mid-October, 25-year-old winger has reached the end of his recovery and has been cleared to return to full five-on-five and contact training.
To help him regain his touch and rhythm, the Sacramento franchise will take him one last step before releasing him back to Doug Christie sending him to the G-Leaguewith the Stockton Kings.
The latter host the Valley Suns tonight in what could be Keegan Murray’s first game back. For their part, the Kings will continue their road trip through the rest of the week, at Oklahoma City tomorrow, Memphis on Thursday and then Denver on Saturday before returning home to host Minnesota next Monday. If all goes according to plan, we may see the former Iowa resident again this time around.
Even if he won’t be able to turn the tide on his own, Keegan Murray remains valuable in the Kings hierarchy, especially because of his 3-point skill (37.2% career average over the first three NBA seasons), which also allows him to extend the game for his teammates, including DeMar DeRozan, the ace mid-range shooter.
His defense against the opposition’s best outsides will also be another positive for a team that needs a bit of a boost going forward. That’s good, Keegan Murray is brand new…
