Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray will miss at least 3-4 weeks with a moderate left ankle sprain, according to a team release.

The injury occurred with 4:01 left in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will be reevaluated after the 3-4 week window.

Keegan is averaging 14.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.2 steals, 42% from the field and 27% from three. He has missed 17 games due to injury this season. It has been a rough injury season all around for him.

Rest up Keegan and get better, the tank shall roll on.

It’s easier to stay injured when your play doesn’t sway the standings.

You are getting paid, you are a professional and want to earn your salary – but taking a chance of a career ending injury (and I think more Domas than Keegan) on a team that will have a little less chance of losing (not winning) makes you want to make sure your recovery is a full one. It is probably a doubly bad feeling for most all of these guys. I am guessing they want to play. But it just ain’t a good idea until you are healed and healthy.

Yippee, for the next month all we are going to get are Russ, Zach, and DDR highlights and all time record bits.

Hey Kings, I really don’t give a fuck if Russ becomes 27th on the all times deflections list in the coming weeks, or whatever any random stat any of them produce from now until the end of the season. Stop trying to sell me fugazi.

I’m sick of this Westbrick crap, myself. Why the Kings ever picked him up is beyond me.
