Keegan Murray on how the Sacramento Kings are dealing with a potential Malik Monk absence
Maybe thoughts from just last night and how you guys move forward from it yeah I mean I think we played with good energy um from start to finish um but we just didn’t hit shots to the end and they did so is it a difficult one to put behind
You guys I mean just because of the state of the game and like how it affects um like the postseason and stuff like that obviously it’s not ideal for us but all we can do now is just move on to the to our next game for you personally Malik’s going to miss some
Time do you feel like you have to step up personally especially on offense uh I mean I’ll have more opportunities um but obviously Malik’s it’s losing a Sixth Man of the Year so um that’s a big burden to try to fill um but I’m I’m
Going to do my best to try and do that what do you feel like you learned last postseason that you’re trying to take into this one uh I mean not be the Mickey on defense um just try and be a guy that they can rely on that in the floor um
And obviously with that experience kind of especially when games are meaningful down the stretch how about just when you having the moments against LCA uh just what did you take away from that matchup and was there many encouraging things that you could kind of walk away from uh
I mean yeah I think uh first game um he got he got to his Spots I’m a lot better than he did the second game so I just try to make it difficult try to Tire him out a little bit um things like that but I usually great players going to make
Tough shots Kyrie to make tough shots and you have to you have to live with those at the end of the day with the remaining kind of nine games in front of you guys and obviously there’s adversity how much do you feel like you guys are embracing the challenge ahead for you
Guys yeah I mean it’s not going to be easy we’re we’re on the road against a lot of good teams coming up um at home against a lot of good teams so um no game is going to be a cupcake or easy um in this league so um down guys or with
Our full roster always have to go out there give 100% try and Win Every Game more guys um I don’t know if this question been posed to you or not like that but you know the physical phys physical style of play since the allstar break I just want to get your thoughts
On it because you know last night of course uh with Dallas that was a really physical game so how do you feel about the physical game now yeah I like it um especially um on the defensive end you can get away with a lot more um and I
Feel like that kind of doesn’t chop up the game when you’re standing on the free throw line so um I’ve enjoyed um how theyve changed it on post allar for sure have you had any action with Malik at all in terms of just his spirit and
How he’s feeling I mean he’s fine uh he’s he’s a guy his spirit’s never going to break so um he’s always a good guy to be around and uh this is just going to help him move forward for sure thanks
