Sacramento Kings rookie Keegan Murray will be questionable to play on Thursday versus the San Antonio Spurs due to low back soreness, according to James Ham of ESPN 1320.

Murray appeared to suffer the injury early in the second quarter of the Kings’ 153-121 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. He was eventually ruled out of returning in the second half after he appeared to tweak his back lunging for the ball on defense.

The fourth pick received medical treatment for the injury on Wednesday and will be reevaluated on Thursday at a morning shootaround. The injury is not considered to be serious.

He recorded four points and three rebounds prior to the injury.
