Kings rookie Keegan Murray is showing progress and is on track in his recovery from wrist surgery, James Ham of The Kings Beat reported. As Ham notes, Murray is now shooting with both hands.
The 22-year-old underwent a minor procedure on his right wrist earlier this month. He had the surgery after a successful Las Vegas Summer League stint, where he averaged 23.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game on 50% shooting.
Murray was also drafted No. 4 overall by Sacramento in June. His recovery seems to be coming at a good time, as training camps open in the NBA next month. Murray’s set to provide backcourt depth for a team that already has De’Aaron Fox, Davion Mitchell and others.
As we previously relayed, the Kings expect Murray to be ready before training camp begins. The operation “cleaned out some loose bodies” in his wrist, causing him to only train with his left hand in the weeks that followed.
