Sacramento Kings Ahead keegan murray Priority Sports representatives Mark Bartelstein and Kyle McAlarney told ESPN that the rookie has agreed to a five-year, $140 million contract extension with the franchise.
Murray, the No. 4 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, secures a long-term extension to remain a dominant two-way wing in Sacramento through 2030-31.
Murray had a stellar season in his first season with the Kings, making the All-Rookie team and helping Sacramento end its playoff drought as a full-time starter. His offensive numbers have declined some since that season, but he has developed into a strong defender, which is a huge need for an offensive-leaning Kings team.
He is one of three players to record 500 3-pointers, 150 blocks and 150 steals in the last three seasons with Minnesota. Anthony Edwards and of boston derrick whiteAccording to ESPN research. He serves as the Kings’ primary perimeter defender, and guarded the 2025 All-Stars for 1,005 half-court matchups last season, fifth-most in the NBA.
Murray averaged 12.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 34.3 minutes in 76 games last season.
The 25-year-old remained remarkably healthy over the first three years of his career, playing 233 of his 246 total games, starting all but two of them. However, he would miss at least the first 10 games of the season after suffering a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb during a preseason game and undergoing surgery.
According to ESPN Research, Murray is one of seven players to make at least 150 3-pointers in each of his first three NBA seasons. His absence means the Kings will be without a key floor spacer and their most trusted stopper in the opening month as they look to compete for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Murray is the sixth player this year to agree to a rookie extension before the deadline at 11:59 pm ET on Monday.
