Murray (ankle), who won't play in Tuesday's game against Dallas, is expected to miss at least three weeks, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray suffered a left ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Bucks, and he could need to sit out as long as four weeks with the injury. The timetable for a return is likely to keep him out until late January or early February. With Murray sidelined, the likes of Precious Achiuwa, Nique Clifford and Keon Ellis will all have an opportunity to pick up the slack.

Murray (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray had to exit Sunday's matchup against the Bucks with a left ankle injury, and it will keep him from suiting up Tuesday night. Nique Clifford will be a candidate to start in the frontcourt in Murray's absence, with Doug McDermott also likely to pick up more playing time.

Murray won't return to Sunday's game against the Bucks due to a left ankle injury, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray landed on an opposing player's foot and injured his ankle before limping to the locker room with assistance. He'll finish with 12 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks across 27 minutes. Nique Clifford will likely see increased playing time for the remainder of the game due to Murray being unavailable. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against Dallas.

Murray exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Bucks due to an apparent left ankle injury, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray limped off the court and required assistance getting back to the locker room. If the 25-year-old forward is unable to return, Nique Clifford will likely see an uptick in minutes the rest of the way.

Murray (calf) finished Tuesday's 131-90 loss to the Clippers with 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Murray returned from a two-game absence due to a right calf strain and saw a sizable workload immediately. However, the 25-year-old forward struggled with efficiency and didn't offer much in terms of peripheral numbers. Murray has shot more than 40 percent from beyond the arc just once over his last 10 appearances, averaging 12.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 assists while shooting 40.3 percent from the field and 26.2 percent from downtown in 35.3 minutes per game over that stretch.

Murray (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings planned to be without Murray for at least one week due to his strained right calf as of this past Friday, but the sharpshooter is well ahead of schedule in his recovery. His presence figures to push Keon Ellis back into a reserve role. Through his first 15 regular-season appearances, Murray has averaged 14.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.5 steals in 37.1 minutes per game. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Kings closely monitor his playing time Tuesday.

Murray (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Murray might have a shot at returning to action a bit earlier than initially expected, though a final call on his status will be made closer to Tuesday's 11 p.m. ET tipoff. Nique Clifford and Keon Ellis would be in line to see a decrease in minutes if Murray is able to return against the Clippers. The fourth-year forward is averaging 12.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game since the beginning of December.

Murray was diagnosed with a mild strain in his right calf and will be re-evaluated by medical staff in one week, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray injured his right calf during the first half of the Kings' loss to the Pistons on Tuesday. With the fourth-year pro out until at least early January, Nique Clifford is a candidate to enter Sacramento's starting lineup, and Precious Achiuwa could also see his production increase for as long as Murray is sidelined.

Murray won't return to Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a right calf injury, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray didn't start the second half due to the calf issue and has now been ruled out for the remainder of the game. He'll finish with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two blocks, one rebound, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes. With the 25-year-old forward sidelined, Nique Clifford will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way. Murray's next chance to play will come Saturday versus Dallas.

Murray produced 15 points (7-19 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 40 minutes during Saturday's 98-93 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Zach LaVine's (ankle) absence has forced Murray into a slightly different role, and he's stepped up with decent results despite a slight drop in rebound totals. The Kings are much more effective with Murray at the four, as the move to Precious Achiuwa in this scenario hasn't yielded a positive result. The team will be happy to get LaVine back so they can settle back into their usual rotation.
