Overview
- Multiple outlets report the agreement carries no team or player options, keeping Murray under contract through the 2030-31 season.
- Murray had surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb and is expected to be sidelined approximately four to six weeks, likely missing at least the first 10 games.
- The extension prevents restricted free agency next summer and sets an average annual value of about $28 million for Sacramento’s cap planning.
- Sacramento also reached a one-year, $3.6 million deal with Russell Westbrook on the same day, adding veteran depth as the season begins.
- Murray, a 3-and-D wing who made the 2023 All-Rookie team, is one of three players since 2022-23 with 500-plus threes, 150-plus blocks and 150-plus steals, per ESPN research.
