Iowa star Kris Murray has announced a decision on his basketball future.

The 22-year-old forward will forgo his senior season and enter the 2023 NBA Draft.

“It’s time for the next chapter in my basketball journey,” he wrote in an official statement on Friday. “With that being said, I will be entering my name into the 2023 NBA Draft.”

Take a look at his full statement here:

Murray posted the best numbers of his college career in 2022-23. In his junior season, the All-Big Ten forward averaged 20.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. 

Murray declined an NBA Draft Combine invitation last year and decided to return for another season with the Hawkeyes. His twin brother, Keegan, was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2022 draft.

Murray is projected as a first-round pick in this year’s selection process.
