Murray undergoes ankle procedure as Kings plan for full summer recovery

Keegan Murray has undergone a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure to remove loose fragments from his left ankle, according to James Ham of The Kings Beat. The surgery, performed on Tuesday, is part of the rehabilitation plan designed to resolve the physical problems that troubled him throughout the season. Recovery is expected to take between six and eight weeks, a timeline that should allow the Sacramento Kings forward to be fully ready for training camp later in the summer, provided no setbacks occur.

Murray’s campaign was derailed early, beginning with a delayed debut in November following thumb surgery, then continuing with calf and ankle issues that ultimately forced an early shutdown. Limited to twenty‑three appearances, he averaged fourteen points, five‑point‑seven rebounds, one‑point‑seven assists and one‑point‑six blocks while posting career‑low shooting percentages. Despite the difficult year, Sacramento still view him as a core piece, reinforced by his five‑year, one‑hundred‑forty‑million‑dollar extension signed last October.
