Keegan Murray isn’t going anywhere.

Murray and the Kings agreed to a five-year, $140 million contract extension, his agent Mark Bartelstein confirmed to NBC Sports California’s Tristi Rodriguez Wednesday. 

ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported the news.

Sacramento selected Murray No. 4 overall in the 2022 NBA Draft out of Iowa, with the sharpshooting forward making and instant impact on the Kings’ famous “Beam Team.”

Murray has averaged 13.3 points points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 233 regular-season games for Sacramento.

The 25-year-old shot 41 percent from the 3-point line during his rookie season and has maintained a reputation as one of the NBA’s preeminent perimeter threats in each of his first three professional campaigns.

Murray currently is sidelined with a UCL injury and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with Sacramento kicking off its regular-season on Oct. 22 against the Phoenix Suns.

While Murray’s return to the court will have to wait, the Kings wasted no time locking up a foundational piece for years to come.
