In a stunning move ahead of the 2025–26 NBA season, the Denver Nuggets have announced the acquisition of twin brothers Keegan and Kris Murray, securing long-term contracts with both players. The signings mark a major coup for the defending Western Conference contenders, adding depth, versatility, and chemistry to an already formidable roster.
Keegan and Kris Murray, former Iowa Hawkeyes standouts, entered the NBA in back-to-back drafts. Keegan was selected by the Sacramento Kings in 2022, followed by Kris, who joined the Portland Trail Blazers in 2023. The duo quickly established themselves as promising young forwards with dynamic scoring ability and a strong two-way presence.
The twins’ reunion in Denver marks the first time they’ll play together professionally since their college days—a move that could inject new energy and synergy into the Nuggets’ rotation. Terms of the contracts have not yet been disclosed, but league sources describe them as “multi-year deals” signaling Denver’s long-term vision.
With the Murrays in the fold, the Nuggets continue to build a roster designed to compete now and into the future.
