    Murray (chest) will play Sunday against the Mavericks.

    Murray has been dealing with a sternum bruise of late, but he will be able to suit up for a second consecutive game. With Jerami Grant (knee) back in the lineup, Murray doesn't figure to see much of a role.

  • Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Probable to play Sunday

    Murray is probable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to a sternum bruise.

    Murray was active for Friday's matchup against the Knicks after a two-game absence, tallying two points, three rebounds and an assist across 16 minutes off the bench. Even if he's upgraded to available Sunday, Murray shouldn't see enough minutes off the bench to be a factor in most fantasy formats.

    Murray (chest) is available for Friday's game against the Kings, according to Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland.

    Murray will return after a two-game absence due to a bruised sternum. However, the second-year forward isn't expected to have a big role off the bench, so his availability shouldn't impact many fantasy decisions.

    Murray (chest) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Kings.

  • Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Questionable for Friday

    Murray (chest) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.

    Murray has missed the Blazers' last two games due to a bruised sternum. The questionable tag for this game suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to Friday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff, but even if he were to be available, he wouldn't make a significant impact in the rotation. Murray is averaging just 13.6 minutes per game across 16 appearances off the bench in 2024-25.

    Murray totaled four points (2-2 FG) and one steal across four minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 loss to the Thunder.

    Murray has yet to score in double-digits this season, managing just four points Wednesday. Despite the Trail Blazers dealing with a few injuries to begin the campaign, Murray has not been able to carve out a consistent role. To this point, he is putting up modest averages of 4.3 points and 2.4 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game.

  • Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Team option picked up

    The Trail Blazers exercised Murray's third-year team option for 2025-26 on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    Murray averaged 6.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.7 minutes across 62 regular-season appearances, including 29 starts, as a rookie for Portland. The 24-year-old forward is now set to spend at least two more seasons with the team. In 2024-25, Murray will likely receive depth minutes in the Trail Blazers' forward rotation.

  • 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: Gets starting nod Friday

    Murray will enter the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Clippers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.

    With Anfernee Simons out due to minor ankle soreness, Murray will enter the starting five. Murray made 29 regular-season starts last year, during which he averaged 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 combined steals plus blocks across 31.8 minutes per game.

  • 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.
