Overview
- Keegan Murray was diagnosed with left ankle capsulitis in a team medical update Monday and will be reevaluated in roughly 10 to 14 days.
- The Kings’ timeline places Murray’s earliest possible return between Nov. 5 and Nov. 9, though that window is conditional on the recheck outcome.
- Center Maxime Raynaud is progressing in rehab after a preseason right patellar subluxation and will be reevaluated in about two weeks with the team projecting he will miss November games.
- Center Dylan Cardwell has begun on-court work after a left calf strain suffered in early October and will be checked again in about seven days.
- With Sacramento 0-3, the short-term absences leave a thin frontcourt rotation centered on Domantas Sabonis, Precious Achiuwa and De’Andre Hunter and raise immediate defensive and availability questions for Murray given his May ankle surgery and recent missed time.
