Sacramento Kings Sign Keegan Murray to $140M Extension, Add Russell Westbrook

Westbrook joins Sacramento on a one-year veteran minimum deal to add depth at point guard after De'Aaron Fox's departure, aiming to boost a team with a 40-42 record last season.

  • The Sacramento Kings secured a five-year, $140 million contract extension with forward Keegan Murray, keeping him with the team through the 2030-31 NBA season, according to his agent Mark Bartlestein.
  • Russell Westbrook signed a one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings, marking his entry into the 18th NBA season, as reported by a person familiar with the agreement.
  • Murray, drafted fourth overall in 2022, had a career-high 15.2 points per game in his second season but suffered an injury that will sideline him for weeks.
  • The Sacramento Kings look to improve their roster with the addition of Westbrook, who averaged 13.3 points and 6.1 assists last season, aiming to break out of the play-in bubble after two consecutive ninth-place finishes in the Western Conference.
