Keegan Murray made his return after missing two games and had a very quiet game with 11 points, 2 rebounds, and an assist on 4-of-13 shooting from the field and 1-of-4 from three. It was a quicker return than expected for the fourth-year guard, but was a tough matchup against one of the best defenders in the NBA against Leonard.

The Sacramento Kings take on the Los Angeles Clippers in a regular-season matchup at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California on Dec. 30.

Kawhi Leonard anotó 33 puntos y los Clippers de Los Ángeles extendieron su racha ganadora a cinco partidos, la mejor que han tenido en la temporada, al triturar el martes 131-90 a los Kings de Sacramento.

Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones give props to teams with improved play and react to NBA All-Star voting returns.

The Kings are a completely different team without these three players on the floor, but getting Murray back into the lineup is arguably their top priority. Of course, Sabonis and LaVine are both concrete stars in this league, but in terms of helping the Kings stay competitive, Murray could be their most important player.
