Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Back to bench
Murray won't start Sunday's preseason game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
With Deni Avdija away from the team for personal reasons and Anfernee Simons out due to minor ankle soreness, Murray and Toumani Camara started Friday's preseason-opening loss to the Clippers. Simons remains out Sunday, but Avdija is playing, so Murray moves to the bench while Camara notably sticks in the starting lineup.

Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Grabs 18 rebounds in final game
Murray closed Sunday's 121-82 loss to the Kings with nine points (3-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, one block and one steal across 44 minutes.
Murray was the only recent starter to play in the season finale, and he set a career high with 18 rebounds in the blowout loss. the Iowa product may not have had many opportunities to impress during his rookie season, but Portland's bevy of injuries throughout 2023-24 allowed the first-round pick to strut his stuff. There's little doubt he'll play a major role in Portland's continuing youth rebuild.

Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Scores career-high 21 points
Murray provided 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 125-117 loss to the Clippers.
Murray made his presence felt on both ends of the court, and the younger brother of Keegan Murray continues to find his footing at the NBA level while enjoying an expanded role on a rebuilding Portland team. Murray jumped into a starting role following the All-Star break and has been thriving lately, scoring in double digits in four of his last five appearances. He has now reached a career-high scoring mark in back-to-back games, a run he'll aim to extend when the Blazers take on the Nuggets on Saturday.

Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Posts career-high point total
Murray racked up 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers.
Murray's 17 points Wednesday were the most he has logged in the NBA. The rookie forward has started 15 straight games for Portland and has averaged 30.5 minutes during that span, but his offense has been inconsistent, as he's scored in single figures in eight of those contests. While Murray is clearly getting a chance to carve out a role for the Blazers, his production thus far hasn't warranted fantasy relevance in most formats.

Murray totaled 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 119-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
Portland is dealing with a ton of injuries, allowing Murray to play an expanded role. That could continue to be the case for the remainder of the season if Murray plays like this, but he's been inconsistent. In his previous outing against Memphis on Saturday, Murray scored two points in 39 minutes.

Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Balanced outing in starting lineup
Murray closed Friday's 127-112 loss to the Nuggets with nine points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes.
Murray got the starting nod due to Scoot Henderson (groin) being out, and he ended two rebounds and one point shy of a double-double in a balanced performance. Murray has started in two games this season, tallying at least eight points in both of those contests. Murray set a new season high in rebounds Friday.

Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Coming off bench
Murray will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Murray drew a start Sunday against Denver and fared well, producing eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes. Although Jerami Grant (back) is back in the lineup, Murray figures to see a healthy workload Thursday with so many Trail Blazers sidelined by injury.

Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Solid defensive numbers in start
Murray tallied eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes in Sunday's 112-103 loss to the Nuggets.
While picking up his first career NBA start in place of the injured Jerami Grant (back), Murray took a back seat on the offensive end behind higher-usage players such as Anfernee Simons and Deandre Ayton, but he did well to make an impact on the other end of the court with three total defensive counters. In spite of the move to the top unit, Murray's playing time was still somewhat suppressed, and that's likely to remain the case even if Grant misses additional contests. The Trail Blazers are off until Thursday's matchup with the Pistons, so Grant will have several days to fully heal up from the back issue.

Murray is starting Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.
Murray has come off the bench in his first 29 appearances in the NBA, and he's been an inconsistent part of the rotation recently. However, he'll draw the start during Sunday's matchup since Malcolm Brogdon (knee) and Jerami Grant (back) have been ruled out. Murray has played at least 20 minutes in five appearances this year, averaging 9.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 24.4 minutes per game.
