Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Plays solid role in third season

Murray finished with no counting stats in one minute during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Analysis:

While he closed the season in a muted role, Murray was serviceable for Portland in 2025-26. The third-year swingman made 15 starts during the regular season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals in a career-high 23.4 minutes per tilt covering 57 regular-season games. Murray figures to play a similar role for the Trail Blazers next year.
