Murray has been eligible for his rookie extension this fall, though he and the Kings had an Oct. 21 deadline to get the deal done. He was entering the final year of his initial four-year, $36.3 million deal this season.
The Kings selected Murray with the No. 4 overall pick out of Iowa in 2022. He has averaged 13.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, while shooting 37% from the 3-point line, throughout his career. That performance projected him for an extension in line with the four-year, $112 million deal Trey Murphy III received from the New Orleans Pelicans or the five-year, $185 million package Alperen Şengün signed with the Houston Rockets.
