Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (quadriceps) will return to action as a starter on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. He missed Monday's meeting with Denver due to a left quadriceps contusion, and Murray was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's rematch. Murray will make his first start of the campaign with Jerami Grant (knee) sidelined. Last season, Murray logged 29 starts and didn't do much with the additional workload, so fantasy managers should tame their expectations for him.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (quadriceps) will not be in the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets. He has been downgraded from questionable to out, as Murray has failed to recover from a quadriceps contusion. With Jerami Grant (knee) also out, Jabari Walker may find himself in a significant role after playing only a handful of minutes over the past two contests. However, Walker is not a reliable source of fantasy value.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) is set to play on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. He recently suffered a chest contusion. However, Murray managed to play through the injury on Thursday against the Orlando Magic and is ready for action again on Friday after ditching a questionable tag. In Thursday's blowout victory over Orlando, Murray recorded six points and three rebounds in 12 minutes. He serves as an additional option off the bench for the Trail Blazers but does not provide any value for fantasy managers.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) will not feature against Miami on Tuesday. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. The team will also be without Toumani Camara (illness), leaving Portland without two rotational pieces for the game. Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert are in a position to benefit from the situation, but they have not previously done enough to warrant fantasy attention.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Miami. He is listed on the injury report with a chest contusion. Murray averages close to 15 minutes per game this season, but his three-point shots have not been dropping, and he has been limited to 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds. Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert might see more action off the Trail Blazers bench if Murray is out on Tuesday, but they are not viable fantasy options.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (sternum) will be in the lineup on Sunday against Dallas. He's nursing a bruised sternum, but the team has upgraded Murray from probable to available. Murray has a limited role with the Trail Blazers, averaging 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds across 13.7 minutes. Dallas allows the third-fewest bench points in the league and does well on the glass, so Murray's output on Sunday might be even smaller than usual.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers due to a bruised sternum. This is the second game in a row that Murray will have to sit out due to an injury. The 24-year-old has averaged 13.6 minutes per game off the bench in 16 regular-season appearances. The last game he played was against Houston Rockets where Murray had seven points, one block, and one assist. Rayan Rupert and Dalano Banton are the two players who are most likely to step in for Murray. With small forward Jerami Grant listed as doubtful, the Trail Blazers could be left thin in their forward rotation.
Kris Murray Fills Stat Sheet In Summer League Finale
Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray closed out the Summer League action with his best performance of the tournament on Sunday, leading the charge at both ends in a 105-95 victory over Houston. The 23-year-old put up 20 points on 5-for-13 shooting and registered nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks. Murray was 3-for-9 from behind the arc. The Iowa product finished the Summer League with averages of 10.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. Murray saw quite a bit of action during his rookie year, but injuries played a big part in it, and 2024-25 could be very different for him.
