Murray had an injury-plagued season, missing the first month of the season following surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb. Murray also missed a few games in December with a calf strain.
In the 19 games he played, he was one of the bright spots of an otherwise dismal season in Sacramento, averaging 14.6 points and 6.1 rebounds, although he struggled with his shooting, hitting just 27.2% from beyond the arc.
Against the Mavericks on Tuesday night, Zach LaVine – the target of many trade rumors – returned to the starting lineup taking Murray’s place. Expect Keon Ellis – also mentioned in many trade rumors – and rookie Nique Clifford to perform better as well.
