The Sacramento Kings and forward Keegan Murray have agreed to a contract extension, his agents at Priority Sports announced on Wednesday.
The extension of his rookie deal is for five years and $140 million, according to ESPN, locking him in place through the 2030-31 season.
Murray, 25, was the No. 4 overall pick of the Kings out of Iowa in the 2022 NBA Draft. He then burst onto the scene, canning a rookie-record 206 3-pointers while averaging 12.2 points per game in 80 appearances (78 starts).
After being named to the All-Rookie team for his efforts, Murray improved upon his scoring average in his second and third seasons, averaging 15.2 and 12.4, respectively.
His third season was considered something of disappointment as he shot a career-low 34% from 3-point range, though he remained the team's top option as a defender on the wing.
His career averages stand at 13.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.
Murray has play 233 out of 246 games since joining the Kings, including 231 starts, but underwent surgery on his left thumb and will miss at least the first 10 games of the season. He suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb during a preseason game.
