Keegan Murray collides with Steven Adams
Keegan Murray, the potential Rookie of the Year candidate and the fourth overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft, was seen kicking the life out of Steven Adams in their matchup on Thursday night. Murray got the game going for the Kings as they didn’t get their first victory of the year, but he finished with some decent stats.
The Kings’ Keegan Murray established himself as an important player off the bench, but he will now carry similar output to the starting lineup as the group aims to get off to a solid start in matches. Since the start of the summer league, preseason, and current regular season, Murray has played well in every game. Keegan currently starts for the Kings, and he appears to be in line for a solid rookie season but if he needs to have one, he shouldn’t be going on kicking players around the league.
Keegan Murray had a fantastic game with some spectacular plays in the Kings vs. Grizzlies game today. What was left off of the highlight reel, though, was one of his plays, in which he drove to the basket while displaying all of his athleticism, collided with Steven Adams in midair, and made the shot. Murray was then observed hitting Adams in the groin during the collision, causing the officials to overturn the basket and declare an offensive foul.
Memphis Grizzlies with the dominant win over Sacramento
On Thursday night, Desmond Bane, who nailed six 3-pointers and finished with 31 points, led the Memphis Grizzlies to a 125-110 victory over the winless Sacramento Kings. For Memphis, Morant also contributed 22 points, six assists, and five rebounds in which both of them scored 38 each to defeat Brooklyn earlier this week. The Grizzlies, who are now 4-1 to start the season, were also powered by Brandon Clarke’s 16 points, Tyus Jones’ 14 points, and Jake LaRavia’s 13 points off the bench.
De’Aaron Fox led Sacramento with 27 points and 6 rebounds. Harrison Barnes had a season-high 20 points, and Keegan Murray, the rookie starter, chipped in with 18 points. Domantas Sabonis, who has three double-doubles this season, ended with a double-double of 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists. Sacramento is one of three winless teams in the NBA, along with the Lakers and Magic, and has an 0-4 record under first-year coach Mike Brown and this is the team’s worst start since beginning the 2019–20 season 0-5.
Fans and their reaction Keegan Murray’s atrocious play
Some people may have been startled by Keegan Murray’s success in the 2022 NBA Summer League, where the former Iowa State and Sacramento Kings rookie was named the most valuable player, and at the start of the regular season. After a difficult start to the season, Murray was promoted to the starting lineup, a position that is now his to lose in which he seems to be getting the hang of things. He had some incredible highlights in his game against the Grizzlies, but his kick to Steven Adams’ crotch stood out.
This is how fans from YouTube reacted to the play:
A fan even supported Murray on Twitter for this move:
Murray averaged 23.5 points and 8.7 rebounds as a sophomore for Iowa, earning him first-team Big Ten and consensus all-American honours. Murray did well in each of his first two games, thus it was decided to start him against the Grizzlies. He didn’t participate in the first game of the season, but he has since averaged 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, one assist, one block, and 43.8% shooting from outside the arc while playing at least 30 minutes per game.
