Unfazed. Calm. Collected.

Keegan Murray will make his NBA debut when the Sacramento Kings host the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night. It’s a culmination of years of hard work and the momentary pause due to a quick bout with Covid-19 was only delaying the inevitable. 

If everything goes as planned, this is only the start for Murray. He’ll come off the bench initially, but that won’t last long. He’s too good. He’s too ready. The Kings need him too much.

Now 100 percent healthy, the 22-year-old is ready to take center stage. He’ll face a veteran Clippers squad that will look to get physical with the Iowa product.
