Sacramento Kings forward meets with students from the Law & Social Justice Academy, sharing advice and answering questions on his path to the NBA.
On March 21, 2025, the students of the Luther Burbank High School Law & Social Justice Academy had the opportunity to speak with NBA Basketball star, Keegan Murray. Keegan visited the Luther Burbank LSJ Academy by invitation from Kings’ partner and LSJ mentorship committee member, Anh Phoong. The event with Keegan was phenomenal. Friendly and approachable, he shared his story and experiences, providing inspiration to the students.
During the event, students were able to ask questions relating to Keegan’s background, including his education and path to the NBA. He also answered student questions about his experience in the NBA, and how he balances his career with his personal life. Keegan also explained how the law and lawyers play a part in his career as a professional athlete. In his discussion, Keegan provided valuable advice and insight to personal motivation, direction, and drive.
At the end of the event, students had an amazing opportunity to take pictures, and receive autographs from Keegan Murray.
Keegan Murray is currently playing for the Sacramento Kings. He was born on August 19, 2000, in Iowa. At age 24, the Sacramento Kings in the 2022 NBA Draft selected Keegan, after playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Interestingly, when entering the NBA it was the first time he has played basketball without his twin brother, Chris (who also plays in the NBA for the Portland Trailblazers – Booo!).
