Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Leads team in three categories
Murray ended with 29 points (14-25 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 12 assists, six rebounds and three steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 139-124 victory over New York. Murray's hot streak continued in Friday's win. In addition to pacing the Hawks in scoring while shooting better than 50 percent from the field in his fourth straight contest, he also led the team in assists and steals. The 26-year-old is averaging 21.9 points, 6.1 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 1.8 steals in January.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Continues hot shooting in win
Murray amassed 30 points (12-18 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 130-122 victory over the Mavericks. Murray was in the zone all night, scoring 11 first-half points on 5-of-7 shooting from the floor before dropping 19 in the second half, including 11 in the fourth quarter to seal up Atlanta's fourth consecutive win. He finished with 30 points in the contest, which tied Luka Doncic for a game high, also grabbing a team-high seven rebounds. Murray has now scored at least 27 points in three straight, going 11-of-19 from three over that stretch.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Leads Atlanta to win
Murray notched a team-high 28 points (11-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 121-113 win over the Heat. Twelve of those points came in the fourth quarter as Atlanta held off a comeback attempt from Miami. Murray's five made threes were his best performance from beyond the arc since he went 8-for-13 against the Rockets on Nov. 25, and it's a positive sign for the 26-year-old, who had shot just 29.5 percent (18-for-61) from downtown since returning from an ankle injury in mid-December.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Stuffs stat sheet in win
Murray totaled 27 points (10-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Saturday's 114-103 victory over the Raptors. Murray finished second on the Hawks in scoring with 27 points, and he fell two rebounds shy of a double-double. He also finished with six assists for his second consecutive matchup. Murray has now reached the 20-point threshold three times through seven games in January.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Another well rounded performance
Rotowire Jan 5, 2023
Murray finished Wednesday's 120-117 victory over the Kings with 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 35 minutes. Murray again poured in a solid all-around performance and continues showing triple-double upside. He's been a terrific two-way option all year but has been especially active defensively lately, recording at least one steal in each of the past six games. He's also scored at least 20 points in the past four contests.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Flirts with triple-double again
Murray had 25 points (10-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 51 minutes during Monday's 143-141 double-overtime loss to the Warriors. Murray scored at least 20 points for the fourth time over his past five appearances and tied his season high with 10 rebounds en route to his second double-double of the campaign. He also dished out at least seven assists for a third straight game and has been a few plays away from a triple-double in each of his past three outings. During that stretch, the point guard has averaged 23.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 43.4 minutes per game.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Teases triple-double in loss
Rotowire Dec 29, 2022
Murray racked up 24 points (10-26 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the Nets. Murray threw up 26 shots in the loss, shouldering more of the offensive load after Trae Young was ruled out with a quad injury. While he did manage just one defensive stat, this was his most complete performance in some time. As long as Young is sidelined, Murray should get a sizeable bump on the offensive end, meaning a sell-high opportunity could be looming.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Scores 14 despite shooting woes
Murray finished with 14 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to the Pacers. Murray needed 12 shots to score his 14 points, and it's not like he posted strong figures in other categories to salvage his fantasy outing. He might be in line for a more significant role Wednesday against the Nets, however, as Trae Young is currently dealing with a left calf contusion, and it's uncertain whether he'll be able to suit up in the second half of a back-to-back. Murray is averaging 18.9 points, 4.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game in December.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Leads team in scoring
Murray logged 26 points (10-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and four steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 130-105 win over the Pistons. Murray led all scorers with 26 points in Friday's win. He also recorded four steals, which marked the fourth time this season that he logged more than three in a game. The former Spurs guard is now averaging 20.6 points, 6.2 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game with his new team.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Productive in return
Murray (ankle) amassed 17 points (7-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 126-125 victory over the Magic. Murray returned to action after missing the past five games due to an ankle injury, having an immediate impact including the game-sealing free throws with less than two seconds remaining on the clock. His shooting was a little wayward, but that's something to be expected given his layoff. With his offseason move from San Antonio to Atlanta, Murray has taken the biggest hit in the assists and rebounds category, but he's more or less holding steady in every other category while increasing his three-point production (career-high 2.1 per game, up from 1.4 in 2021-22).
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Available to return Monday
Murray (ankle) is active for Monday's contest against the Magic, Brad Rowland of Locked On Podcast Network reports. Murray will officially make his return to Atlanta's lineup after being sidelined for the team's previous five contests. Trent Forrest figures to return back to his reserve role with Murray back in the lineup. Across his first 25 appearances with the Hawks, Murray is averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Game-time call Monday
Murray (ankle) is a game-time decision for Monday's contest against the Magic, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. After missing Atlanta's previous five showings, Murray's status for Monday is still up in the air. If the 26-year-old is ultimately ruled out, his next chance to return to the court comes Wednesday against Chicago. Murray is averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.8 steals throughout his first 25 appearances as a member of the Hawks.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Participates in shootaround
Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable but participated in shootaround ahead of Monday's matchup against the Magic, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. Murray's missed five consecutive games and is listed as questionable, but his participation at shootaround suggests the point guard is on track to return Monday. If he suits up, fewer minutes will be available for Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday and Vit Krejci.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Chance to play Monday
Murray (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Magic, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. Murray has missed five straight games due to an ankle injury, but he'll have a chance to suit up Monday. Even if he's ultimately sidelined again, it appears the point guard will be back in action before long. His eventual return would likely mean less minutes for Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday and Vit Krejci.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Expected to miss two weeks
Rotowire Dec 8, 2022
Murray is expected to be sidelined for around two weeks after he underwent an MRI on Thursday that confirmed a left ankle sprain, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Murray sprained the ankle during Wednesday's blowout loss to the Knicks and is now on tap for a multi-game absence. The Hawks suddenly have a skeleton crew, as John Collins (ankle) and De'Andre Hunter (hip) are also shelved, and Trae Young (illness) missed Thursday's practice. In Murray's absence, more minutes could be available for Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday, Vit Krejci and Jarrett Culver. Bogdan Bogdanovic may take on more usage as well.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Slated for MRI
Murray (ankle) will receive an MRI on Thursday, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Murray sustained a left ankle sprain during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks, and his MRI should help provide a better idea of the extent of the issue. AJ Griffin and Bogdan Bogdanovic will likely see increased run if Murray is forced to miss additional time.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Won't return Wednesday
Murray (ankle) won't return to Wednesday's game against New York, Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN reports. This is devastating news for the Hawks, as their star guard has been officially ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's matchup with a left ankle sprain. It's unclear if Murray's status beyond Wednesday's contest is in jeopardy. If the former Spur is out for an extended period, Bogdan Bogdanovic is a prime candidate to see increased usage.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Questionable to return Wednesday
Murray is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against New York due to a left ankle sprain, Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN reports. Murray suffered the sprained left ankle sometime during the first quarter of Wednesday's matchup. The guard logged four minutes of action and posted two points (0-0 FG, 2-2 FT) before his early exit. He's officially questionable to return.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Pops for 24 points against Thunder
Murray supplied 24 points (10-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 121-114 loss to Oklahoma City. The Hawks seemed to have the game well in hand when they took a 14-point lead in the third quarter, but another late swoon put them in the loss column. Murray appears to be coming out of his scoring funk, at least -- after producing more than 19 points only once over an eight-game stretch in the second half of November, the 26-year-old guard has dropped 24 or more in three straight, averaging 28.3 points, 5.7 assists, 4.0 boards, 3.3 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks during his resurgence.
Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Leads ATL to victory
Murray contributed 34 points (13-22 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one block across 35 minutes during Friday's 117-109 victory over the Nuggets. The former Spurs guard embraced a more prominent role on offense with the Hawks without the services of Trae Young (shoulder), De'Andre Hunter (hip) and John Collins (ankle), but he fully delivered and led Atlanta on offense. This was Murray's second 30-point performance across his last five outings. While there's a chance Young might return when the Hawks take on the Thunder on Monday, Murray should remain one of the team's most important players, especially given how shorthanded they might be in the coming games.

Smothered and covered for the win ☝️ @DejounteMurray 🚫 @jcollins20_ https://t.co/WtWlLpeNlR

@peachtreehoops
Atlanta squeaks out a win in a defense optional game 137-132. Trae Young had 33 points and 11 assists. Dejounte Murray added 21 points and Bogi added 20. Both John Collins and Clint Capela recorded double-doubles.
That *should* do it as Murray knocks down two FTs to put the Hawks up 5 with 2.7 seconds to play. Definitely a nervous moment there, but seemingly a good win over a feisty Thunder team here.
@JasonWalkerNBA
Huge defensive play by Murray. That length. Beautiful.
Excellent defense by Dejounte Murray on SGA. He was in no man's land. Hawks at the line to make it a two score game.
Dejounte Murray entered the kitchen and began cooking.
The Hawks fall to the Bulls 111-100. 19 turnovers and 12/19 from the free throw line definitely didn't help. Young and Murray both finished north of 20 points.
That travel by Murray is the 19th of the night for Atlanta. Not going to win many like that.
Somehow. Some way. The Hawks have tied this one up at 78 going into the fourth quarter. Dejounte Murray has 20 points. Trae Young has 14 points and 10 assists.
The Bulls ended the half hitting 8/8 shots from the field. They lead 57-48 Dejounte Murray leads the Hawks with 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
