Keegan Murray injury update: Kings forward out several weeks
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray is listed out following the injury he sustained in their loss against the Milwaukee Bucks on Jan. 4.
Murray left the game with a left ankle injury with 4:01 left in the third quarter after driving to the rim, colliding with Bucks center Myles Turner and landing awkwardly. He did not return to Sunday's game against the Bucks, finishing with 12 points and two blocks.
Murray received an MRI and imaging revealed the injury as a moderate left ankle sprain that will be reevaluated in three to four weeks, the team announced.
