The Kings will open the regular season on Oct. 22 against the Phoenix Suns. It’s unclear who will take Murray’s place in the starting lineup in the meantime, though Christie experimented with rookie Maxime Raynaud at the position on Sunday, according to the Sacramento Bee. The Kings took Raynaud with the No. 42 overall pick in the draft earlier this summer out of Stanford, where he averaged 20.2 points and 10.6 rebounds per game.

“In our league, two bigs, we’re starting to see quite a bit, so it’s one of the things I think that you’ve got to look at,” Christie said. “Max is a talented player. This is the preseason, so to get him out there and to get him those types of reps is more what that’s about. We’ve got a couple other options over the next couple days that we’ll throw out there.”
