Precious Achiuwa (leg) exits during third quarter

Murray is available to play after missing Saturday’s practice with an illness. He returned to the Kings’ starting lineup on Friday and should retain that role.

Achiuwa missed Friday’s game, which allowed Keegan Murray to return to the starting lineup. However, both players are questionable to play against OKC, which could result in Leaky Black entering the starting unit.

Murray returned to the starting lineup on Friday, but his status for Sunday’s game is now up in the air. Precious Achiuwa had been starting in his place, but he missed Friday’s game. If both end up missing Sunday’s game, Leaky Black would likely step into the starting unit.

Keegan Murray will re-enter the starting lineup and Precious Achiuwa will head to the bench. The change shouldn’t impact their value very much as Keegan played more minutes than Precious in last game.

Achiuwa is dealing with left ankle soreness that will keep him sidelined for at least one game. With Achiuwa on the sideline, Keegan Murray could rejoin the starting five for the first time since returning from injury.

The backup big man has yet to make his season debut, but until he returns, Dylan Cardwell and Precious Achiuwa should continue to pickup the slack in the frontcourt.

Murray played 22 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s loss to the Heat, but took a hard fall in the second quarter, which potentially caused him to sprain his wrist. He’s been cleared to play against the Magic Tuesday and will likely take on his usual bench role.

Working his way back from a right patellar subluxation suffered during the preseason, Raynaud was to be re-evaluated early this week. That did not happen on Monday, but the Kings are listing the second-year center out for Tuesday night. Precious Achiuwa and Dylan Cardwell have been providing depth at center when Domantas Sabonis is not on the floor.

Murray took a hard fall during the second quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Heat. That may be why his right wrist is sore. Murray came off the bench in his first game back from an ankle injury. If he can’t play Tuesday, Daeqwon Plowden or Jonathan Mogbo may get more minutes.

Making his first appearance since October 23, Murray played a reserve role on Sunday. After playing stints of six, four and five minutes in the first three quarters, the Kings forward played the last 7:46 of the fourth quarter. Murray took a hard fall during the second quarter when he landed on his upper back after a Bobby Portis shot fake got him in the air, but he did not require any attention on the Kings’ bench. As Murray’s minutes increase, Precious Achiuwa (7/14/2/1 with one block) will likely see his minutes decrease after logging 36 minutes on Sunday.
