Kris Murray Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Trail Blazers vs Raptors game today with our National Basketball Association injury report.Nov 30, 2025
Enters starting lineup
Murray will start Sunday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Murray will make his second start of the season as the team elects to roll out a small lineup with Donovan Clingan (illness) sidelined. In his previous start, Murray logged three points and four rebounds in 25 minutes of action.
Nov 20, 2025
Season-high 35 minutes
Murray produced nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Murray logged a season-high 35 minutes, continuing to play a sizeable role for the injured Trail Blazers. After starting the previous game, he shifted to the bench but was able to contribute across all the major categories. Despite the opportunity, Murray simply doesn't have enough upside to warrant fantasy attention outside of deeper formats.
Nov 19, 2025
Coming off bench vs. Bulls
Murray isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Murray drew his first start of the season Tuesday against the Suns, totaling three points and four boards in 25 minutes. He'll return to the bench Wednesday as the Blazers elect to roll out Deni Avdija, Jerami Grant and Donovan Clingan in the starting frontcourt.
Nov 18, 2025
Starting Tuesday
Murray is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's tilt with Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Muray will get his first start of the season with Jerami Grant (illness) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Shaedon Sharpe, Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara and Donovan Clingan. Murray could see a lot of shots falling his way with Portland banged up, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer in deep leagues.
Nov 11, 2025
Quiet in loss
Murray had three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 115-112 loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Murray's role backing up Toumani Camara is established, as he has logged at least 18 minutes in every game he's played so far, but his production has been inconsistent, leading to season averages of 5.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks. Murray has been an integral piece to making Portland's defense among one of the best this season, but needs to step it up on the offensive end, as he has been shooting a measly 21.4 percent from the three-point line and 66.7 percent from the free-throw line.
Oct 31, 2025
Available Friday
Murray (illness) has been Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland in Friday's game against the Nuggets
ANALYSIS
After missing Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to an illness, Murray will get back on the floor. The Iowa product is averaging 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from beyond the arc.
Oct 29, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Murray (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Murray was a late addition to the injury report Wednesday morning due to illness, and he'll sit out the contest. The third-year wing has averaged 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 21.8 minutes per game in 2025-26. His absence should open up more minutes for Matisse Thybulle and Rayan Rupert. His next chance to play will come Friday against Denver
Oct 29, 2025
Downgraded to questionable
Murray (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Murray wasn't on the initial injury report, but presumably, he woke up under the weather. Murray has seen an average of 21.7 minutes per contest through four games, and if he's unable to play, the Trail Blazers could use a committee approach to soak up his minutes.
Oct 21, 2025
Team option picked up
The Trail Blazers exercised the 2026-27 team option on Murray's contract Tuesday, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 first-rounder may not have a significant role on tap for the start of the 2025-26 season, but Portland values the versatility he offers as a depth option. Murray averaged 4.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.1 minutes per game over 69 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.
Oct 9, 2025
Scores 12 points from bench
Murray tallied 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist over 19. minutes in Wednesday's 129-123 preseason loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Murray returns to the Trail Blazers after his first-round selection by the team two years ago. The 25-year-old Iowa product endured a dip in minutes during his sophomore campaign, and the acquisition of Deni Avdija clouded his outlook with the team. His youth falls in line with Portland's game plan, but the wealth of talent ahead of him on the depth chart significantly reduces his fantasy viability.
Apr 14, 2025
Posts first double-double in finale
Murray provided 10 points (4-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 109-81 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Other than a handful of spot starts in 2024-25, Murray didn't present very much appeal. However, he did record his first double-double of the campaign Sunday. Murray averaged 7.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 28.9 minutes over his six outings as a starter this season, but he shot a dreadful 32.7 percent from the floor as a member of the first unit.
Apr 11, 2025
Promoted to starting role
Murray is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray will replace Shaedon Sharpe (knee) in the starting lineup. The second-year forward has logged at least 20 minutes in each of his last three appearances off the bench and should be in line for a sizable uptick in workload in a starting role.
Apr 7, 2025
Drops season-high 18 points
Murray supplied 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Murray played a significant role Sunday, pouring in a season-high 18 points. He has now played at least 27 minutes in two straight games, an indication that he could end the season as a prominent part of the rotation. With that said, prior to his last two games, Murray had failed to score on six straight occasions.
Mar 23, 2025
Back to bench
Murray won't start Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Murray drew a spot start Friday against the Nuggets, a game Portland surprisingly won in blowout fashion. However, with Donovan Clingan back in action, Murray will shift to a reserve role. He hasn't played more than 18 minutes in any of his last seven appearances off the bench.
Mar 21, 2025
Gets starting nod Friday
Murray is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The Trail Blazers will be depleted for this matchup, so Murray will get the starting nod for this contest. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have, though, as he'll start alongside Toumani Camara and Deni Avdija in the frontcourt. Murray is averaging 7.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.0 steals per game in three starts this season.
Mar 19, 2025
Heads back to bench
Murray is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
With Toumani Camara returning from a calf injury Wednesday, it's not surprising to see Murray head back to the bench. Murray has averaged 3.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks in 13.2 minutes over his last 10 games off the bench, which significantly reduces his fantasy value.
Mar 18, 2025
Records four steals
Murray closed Monday's 112-97 win over the Wizards with five points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and four steals in 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Murray matched his career-high mark of four steals in the win, logging a massive workload in the process. This was also his third career game with double-digit rebounds. Murray is typically a low-usage role player for Portland, but he made the most of his spot start with Toumani Camara (calf) out and Jerami Grant (knee) on the sidelines again. He's worth monitoring as a potential streamer in deeper leagues if Camara misses more time.
Mar 17, 2025
Moves into starting lineup
Murray is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
With Toumani Camara out with a calf injury, Murray will join the starting five Monday. It'll be the third start of the season for Murray, who has averaged 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.0 assists in 24.7 minutes as a starter.
Mar 2, 2025
Sliding to bench Sunday
Murray will come off the bench in Sunday's game against Cleveland, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Deni Avdija returning to game action, Murray will slide back to the bench. The second-year forward has received inconsistent playing time of late, averaging 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 16.2 minutes per contest in his last six outings (two starts).
Feb 28, 2025
Starting Friday
Murray will start in Friday's game against Brooklyn, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year forward will get the start with Jerami Grant (knee) on the shelf. Murray has received inconsistent playing time of late, and over his last five outings (one start), he has averaged 4.0 points and 2.2 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per contest.
Feb 20, 2025
Not starting vs. Lakers
Murray is not in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
The Blazers will receive reinforcements in the frontcourt since Jerami Grant (knee) and Robert Williams (knee) are available, so Murray will return to his regular bench role. He's averaging 4.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game when playing with the second unit this season.
Feb 12, 2025
Active and starting
Murray (quadriceps) is part of the Trail Blazers' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray was initially labeled questionable for the contest due to a bruised left quad, but he'll be active and make his first start of the year. Jerami Grant (knee), Matisse Thybulle (ankle) and Robert Williams (knee) have been ruled out, so Murray should be in line for as many minutes as he can handle.
Feb 11, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Murray (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Murray is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a left quadriceps contusion. If Murray is forced to sit out yet again, Jabari Walker will likely continue to receive increased playing time.
Feb 10, 2025
Won't go vs. Denver
Murray (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to a bruised left quad, and the issue is significant enough to hold him out. Jerami Grant (knee) is also sidelined, so Jabari Walker could pick up a few extra minutes in the frontcourt Monday.
Feb 9, 2025
Questionable to face Denver
Murray (quadricep) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Murray is in jeopardy of missing Monday's contest due to a left quad contusion. The second-year forward's potential absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation, as he has averaged only 9.2 minutes per game over his last five outings.
Jan 24, 2025
Set to play Friday
Murray (chest) is available for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with a chest contusion. The 24-year-old should continue to be one of Portland's primary bench options in their forward rotation against Charlotte.
Jan 24, 2025
Iffy Friday
Murray (chest) is questionable for Friday's game against Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Murray is in danger of missing the second leg of the club's back-to-back set due to a chest contusion. The 24-year-old was able to play in the first half of the back-to-back set in Thursday's loss to Orlando, during which he posted six points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes. Jabari Walker could see extended run if Murray is sidelined.
Jan 23, 2025
Available Thursday
Murray (chest) is available for Thursday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Murray will return to game action after missing Tuesday's win over Miami due to a chest contusion. Over his last five outings, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 6.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 21.0 minutes per contest.
Jan 22, 2025
Iffy for Thursday
Murray (chest) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
After sitting in Tuesday's win over Miami, Murray remains iffy to suit up for the Blazers on Thursday due to a chest contusion. If the 24-year-old is downgraded to out against Orlando, Portland would figure to give Jerami Grant a heavy workload from the starting lineup, and more reserve playing time would be available to Shaedon Sharpe and Dalano Banton.
Jan 21, 2025
Out against Heat
Murray is out for Tuesday's game against the Heat with a chest contusion.
ANALYSIS
With Murray sidelined Tuesday, the Trail Blazers should lean on Jerami Grant and Deni Avdija from the starting lineup. Scoot Henderson appears to be a prime candidate for increased run, while the versatile Dalano Banton could pick up extra minutes from Portland's bench.
Jan 20, 2025
Listed as questionable
Murray is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Heat with a chest contusion.
ANALYSIS
With Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant healthy again, Murray's minutes have taken a hit. In his most recent outing Sunday against the Bulls, Murray played just 17 minutes with two points, two rebounds, two assists and one block.
Jan 5, 2025
Logs 20 minutes in win
Murray ended Saturday's 105-102 victory over the Bucks with four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Murray saw at least 20 minutes for just the fifth time this season and yet failed to produce anything of note. He has scored double-digits only twice thus far, averaging 3.9 points and 2.2 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per game.
Dec 1, 2024
Available Sunday
Murray (chest) will play Sunday against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Murray has been dealing with a sternum bruise of late, but he will be able to suit up for a second consecutive game. With Jerami Grant (knee) back in the lineup, Murray doesn't figure to see much of a role.
Nov 30, 2024
Probable to play Sunday
Murray is probable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to a sternum bruise.
ANALYSIS
Murray was active for Friday's matchup against the Knicks after a two-game absence, tallying two points, three rebounds and an assist across 16 minutes off the bench. Even if he's upgraded to available Sunday, Murray shouldn't see enough minutes off the bench to be a factor in most fantasy formats.
Nov 29, 2024
Available to face Sacramento
Murray (chest) is available for Friday's game against the Kings, according to Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland.
ANALYSIS
Murray will return after a two-game absence due to a bruised sternum. However, the second-year forward isn't expected to have a big role off the bench, so his availability shouldn't impact many fantasy decisions.
Nov 29, 2024
Now expected to play Friday
Murray (chest) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Murray is expected to return to action Friday after missing Portland's last two contests with a bruised sternum. If the second-year forward is further upgraded to available, he should operate as a bench option in Portland's forward rotation.
Nov 28, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Murray (chest) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Murray has missed the Blazers' last two games due to a bruised sternum. The questionable tag for this game suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to Friday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff, but even if he were to be available, he wouldn't make a significant impact in the rotation. Murray is averaging just 13.6 minutes per game across 16 appearances off the bench in 2024-25.
Nov 27, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Murray (chest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss a second straight game. With Jerami Grant (knee) also out, Deni Avdija, Jabari Walker and Rayan Rupert are candidates for elevated roles.
Nov 26, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday
Murray (chest) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Murray is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a bruised sternum. With Jerami Grant (knee) already deemed doubtful, the Trail Blazers could be left thin in their forward rotation against Indiana.
Nov 25, 2024
Won't play Monday
Murray (chest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Murray will be sidelined due to a bruised sternum. The 24-year-old has averaged 13.6 minutes per game off the bench in 16 regular-season appearances, meaning Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert are candidates for an uptick in playing time with Murray sidelined.
Nov 24, 2024
Working through chest issue
Murray is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a bruised sternum.
ANALYSIS
Murray has played at least 14 minutes off the bench in three of the Blazers' last five games, but he is now questionable to play Monday. If he's unable to suit up, Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert would be candidates to see increased minutes off the bench.
Nov 21, 2024
Muted role continues
Murray totaled four points (2-2 FG) and one steal across four minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Murray is yet to score double-digits this season, managing just four points Wednesday. Despite the Trail Blazers dealing with a few injuries to begin the campaign, Murray has not been able to carve out a consistent role. To this point, he is putting modest averages of 4.3 points and 2.4 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game.
Oct 19, 2024
Team option picked up
The Trail Blazers exercised Murray's third-year team option for 2025-26 on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray averaged 6.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.7 minutes across 62 regular-season appearances, including 29 starts, as a rookie for Portland. The 24-year-old forward is now set to spend at least two more seasons with the team. In 2024-25, Murray will likely receive depth minutes in the Trail Blazers' forward rotation.
Oct 13, 2024
Back to bench
Murray James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento Sunday's preseason game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
With Deni Avdija away from the team for personal reasons and Anfernee Simons out due to minor ankle soreness, Murray and Toumani Camara started Friday's preseason-opening loss to the Clippers. Simons remains out Sunday, but Avdija is playing, so Murray moves to the bench, while Camara notably sticks in the starting lineup.
Oct 11, 2024
Gets starting nod Friday
Murray will enter the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Clippers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray will enter the starting five with Anfernee Simons out due to minor ankle soreness. Murray made 29 regular-season starts last year, during which he averaged 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 combined steals plus blocks across 31.8 minutes per game.
Apr 15, 2024
Grabs 18 rebounds in final game
Murray closed Sunday's 121-82 loss to the Kings with nine points (3-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, one block and one steal across 44 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Murray was the only recent starter to play in the season finale, and ehe set a career high with 18 rebounds in the blowout loss. the Iowa product may have not had many opportunities to impress during his rookie season, but Portland's bevy of injuries through out the year gave the first-round pick an opportunity to strut his stuff. There's little doubt that he'll play a major role in Portland's continuing youth rebuild.
Mar 23, 2024
Scores career-high 21 points
Murray provided 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 125-117 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Murray made his presence felt on both ends of the court, and the younger brother of Keegan Murray continues to find his footing at the NBA level while enjoying an expanded role on a rebuilding Portland team. Murray jumped into a starting role following the All-Star break but has been thriving lately, scoring in double digits in four of his last five appearances. To note, he has now reached career-high scoring marks in back-to-back games, a run he'll aim to extend when the Blazers take on the Nuggets on Saturday, which represents a tougher matchup for the rookie out of Iowa.
Mar 21, 2024
Posts career-high point total
Murray racked up 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Murray's 17 points Wednesday were the most he has logged in the NBA. The rookie forward has started 15 straight games for Portland and has averaged 30.5 minutes during that span, but his offense has been inconsistent, as he's scored in single figures in eight of those contests. While Murray is clearly getting a chance to carve out a role for the Blazers, his production thus far hasn't warranted fantasy relevance in most formats.
Mar 17, 2024
Fails to score Saturday
Murray amassed zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Murray played 26 minutes as a starter but failed to contribute a single point. Despite playing a meaningful role on a consistent basis of late, Murray simply doesn't do enough to be considered a viable asset outside of deeper formats.
Mar 9, 2024
Balanced outing in double-double
Murray posted 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 33 minutes during Friday's 123-107 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Murray led all players in Friday's contest in rebounds en route to the lone double-double performance that ended three assists shy of a triple-double. Murray set season high marks in rebounds and assists while crossing the double-digit mark for the first time of the year in his first double-double performance. He has now reached double figures in scoring in seven outings this year.
Mar 5, 2024
Plays well in 35 minutes
Murray totaled 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 119-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Portland is dealing with a ton of injuries, allowing Murray to play an expanded role. That could continue to be the case for the remainder of the season if Murray continues to play like this, but he's been very inconsistent. In his previous outing against Memphis on Saturday, Murray scored two points in 39 minutes.
Feb 24, 2024
Balanced outing in starting lineup
Murray closed Friday's 127-112 loss to the Nuggets with nine points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Murray got the starting nod due to Scoot Henderson (groin) out, ending two rebounds and one point shy of a double-double in a balanced performance. Murray has started in two games this season, tallying at least eight points in both of those contests. Murray set a new season high in rebounds, hauling in five or more boards on five occurrences.
Feb 23, 2024
Starting Friday
Murray will start at shooting guard in Friday's matchup with the Nuggets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray will replace Scoot Henderson (groin) in the backcourt. He put up eight points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 20 minutes in his only other start this season.
Feb 8, 2024
Coming off bench
Murray will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Murray drew a start on Sunday against Denver and fared well, producing eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes. Although Jerami Grant (back) is back in the lineup, Murray figures to see a healthy workload Thursday with so many Trail Blazers sidelined by injury.
Feb 5, 2024
Solid defensive numbers in start
Murray tallied eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes in Sunday's 112-103 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
While picking up his first career NBA start in place of the injured Jerami Grant (back), Murray took a back seat on the offensive end behind higher-usage players such as Anfernee Simons and Deandre Ayton, but he did well to make an impact on the other end of the court with three total defensive counters. In spite of the move to the top unit, Murray's playing time was still somewhat suppressed, and that's likely to remain the case even if Grant misses additional contests. The Trail Blazers are off until Thursday's matchup with the Pistons, so Grant will have several days to fully heal up from the back issue.
Feb 4, 2024
Slated to start Sunday
Murray is starting Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Murray has come off the bench in his first 29 appearances in the NBA, and he's been an inconsistent part of the rotation recently. However, he'll draw the start during Sunday's matchup since Malcolm Brogdon (knee) and Jerami Grant (back) have been ruled out. Murray has played at least 20 minutes in five appearances this year, averaging 9.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 24.4 minutes per game.
Jan 1, 2024
Available for Monday
Murray (thumb) has been cleared to play Monday against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Murray was labeled as doubtful due to a left thumb sprain, but in a surprising turn of events, he'll be available off the bench for Monday's clash. He hasn't factored much into the rotation so far this season, averaging 2.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in 10.1 minutes (15 games).
Jan 1, 2024
Doubtful for Monday
Murray is doubtful for Monday's game against the Suns due to a left thumb sprain.
ANALYSIS
Murray made only five appearances in December despite Portland dealing with several key injuries. His expected absence Monday isn't likely to impact the rotation.
Dec 29, 2023
Called up by Portland
The Trail Blazers recalled Murray from the G League's Rip City Remix on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Murray was assigned to the G League club on Wednesday, and he had a solid performance against Stockton on Thursday, logging 24 points, eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block in 36 minutes. Despite his solid showing Thursday, he's unlikely to garner a major role for the parent club.
Dec 9, 2023
Headed to G League
The Trail Blazers assigned Murray to the Rip City Remix of the G League on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Murray, Moses Brown and Rayan Rupert were all sent down to the G League on Saturday. Murray is averaging 10.7 minutes per contest for the Trail Blazers this season.
Nov 21, 2023
Returns to NBA
Portland recalled Murray from the G League's Rip City Remix on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Murray, Moses Brown and Rayan Rupert were all elevated to the parent club following Rip City's 107-103 win over Ontario on Monday. They'll all be available for Portland's matchup in Phoenix on Tuesday, but it's unlikely they'll see extended playing time, barring a blowout.
Nov 12, 2023
Back with Blazers
Murray was recalled from the G League's Rip City Remix on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Murray appeared for Rip City on Friday night, totaling 18 points, six boards and two assists over 31 minutes, and he could now see action for Portland on Sunday against the Lakers. The Iowa product has played in three contests with the Trail Blazers in the early stages of the 2023-24 campaign, logging one rebound and one steal over 20 minutes.
Jul 11, 2023
Shows out in Summer League
Murray recorded 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and seven rebounds in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 97-93 Summer League win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Murray was Portland's first-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and had his best Summer League game to date Tuesday. While he did register three turnovers to zero assists, his scoring efficiency was impressive.
