Kings rookie Keegan Murray is showing progress and is on track in his recovery from wrist surgery, James Ham of The Kings Beat reported (via Twitter). As Ham notes, Murray is now shooting with both hands.
The 22-year-old underwent a minor procedure on his right wrist last month. He had the surgery after a successful Las Vegas Summer League stint, where he averaged 23.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game on 50% shooting.
Murray was drafted No. 4 overall by Sacramento in June. His recovery seems to be progressing at a good pace, as training camps open in the NBA next month. As we previously relayed, Sacramento expects Murray to be ready before training camp begins. The operation “cleaned out some loose bodies” in his wrist, causing him to only train with his left hand in the weeks that followed.
Murray will likely start or see significant minutes off the bench for a Kings team that finished just 30-52 last season.
Geez, Please don’t tell me he is going to be another Bagley, Injury Wise !!
He’s not a guard. So I doubt he helps them there …….. He’ll be their starting SF for yrs to come. He was a great pick. I think he and Sabonis is a great mix. Murray is a 22 yr old rookie. Old school style. He will step right in. He’s my ROY …..
