Kings’ Keegan Murray Shatters Expectations with Stunning $140 Million Rookie Extension—What’s Next for the Rising Star?
Over his three seasons, the Kings have declined from the third-best team in the Western Conference to a ninth-place finish in the past two years. But that qualified Sacramento for the play-in tournament. In 2024, the Kings defeated the Golden State Warriors before being eliminated by the New Orleans Pelicans. Last season, Sacramento lost to the Dallas Mavericks.

Murray has never been more than the Kings’ fourth-leading scorer. Yet to be fair, he was playing alongside high-volume scorers like DeMar DeRozan (22.2 ppg) and Zach LaVine (22.4 ppg) last season and that will continue. As a rookie, he set an NBA record for 3-pointers made by a rookie with 206, shooting 41%. Perhaps that was an outlier and his numbers were bound to decline.
