Sacramento Kings Rookie Makes Impressive NBA Debut

Keegan Murray, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, made a strong debut for the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, posting a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds in a 113-93 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Murray, a 6-foot-8 forward out of Iowa, showed off his impressive all-around game in his first NBA action. He was efficient from the field, shooting 9-of-15, and also added 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.

Murray's Impressive Stat Line

• 26 points
• 10 rebounds
• 3 assists
• 2 steals
• 2 blocks

Murray's performance was particularly impressive considering he was playing against a veteran Trail Blazers team led by Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons.

The Kings, who are rebuilding after a disappointing season last year, are hoping that Murray can be a key piece of their future. He has shown the potential to be a versatile scorer and defender, and his debut performance is a promising sign for the future.
