Kings extend Keegan Murray despite thumb surgery

Read, Watch or Listen

Despite a torn thumb ligament, Keegan Murray agreed to a five-year, $140 million extension with the Kings on Wednesday, hours after Sacramento reportedly added Russell Westbrook on a one-year, $3.6 million deal. Murray, 25, would have been a restricted free agent after this season and is now under contract through 2030-31. He had surgery Monday in New York and is expected to miss at least 4–6 weeks; a Stanford hand specialist told NBC Sports California full healing could take three to six months. Under new full-time coach Doug Christie, Sacramento seeks a rebound after two straight playoff misses.
