Michael Scotto: Sacramento Kings say Keegan Murray (left ankle capsulitis) will be re-evaluated in 10-14 days. Maxime Raynaud (right patellar subluxation) will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Dylan Cardwell (left calf strain) will begin on-court activities and will be re-evaluated in 7 days.

James Ham: Keegan Murray is officially out tonight with a stiff ankle according to Doug Christie. Not only did Murray have offseason surgery on the same ankle, but he had a setback early in camp.


Brenden Nunes: Keegan Murray said Ben Simmons injury was “probably the worst thing I’ve seen on the basketball court.” “When he did it, obviously there was a different feel in the gym…. It was a tough situation, and for me, I got to be able to step up for what he was going to bring us.”

Hyland put the ball in his left hand, dropped his right shoulder and drove right through Keegan Murray’s chest on his way to a layup. Suddenly, a Timberwolves team that has often looked bored or uninspired during this regular season had an edge. There was a desperation in that moment, a hunger created by the struggle. “It’s like I see food at the rim,” Hyland said. “If I’ve got one-on-one in transition, I’m going right at him. It’s me and you, and I’m going to win that battle. That’s going back to never wanting to go back to how you grew up. That’s something I live with every day.”

Rookie Kon Knueppel became the fastest player to reach 200 three-pointers in NBA history as the Charlotte Hornets defeated the Chicago Bulls 131-99. The 20-year-old American scored 21 points, including three three-pointers, while Brandon Miller added 23 as the visiting Hornets condemned the Bulls to a 10th consecutive defeat for the first time since the 2018-19 season. Knueppel needed only 58 games to tally up his 200th three-pointer - 11 less than previous record holder Duncan Robinson - and is also just the second rookie to reach the milestone. With a league-leading 201 three-pointers, Knueppel only needs six more to break Keegan Murray's record of 206 in 2022-23 for the Sacramento Kings for the most threes made by a rookie in their first season. Having played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils, Knueppel was drafted as a fourth overall pick by the Hornets in the 2025 draft. "It is exciting and refreshing [to coach Knueppel]," said head coach Charles Lee after the Hornets' eighth straight win on the road.

The Kings Herald: Same, Keegan. Same.
