Before getting traded to the Hawks in 2022, Murray played for the San Antonio Spurs, who drafted him with the 29th pick in 2016.

In San Antonio, Murray played under legendary head coach Gregg Popvich who took his skills to another level, making him a legit threat on both ends of the court.

One of Murray's career highlights was when he became the first player in NBA history to record at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, and no more than one turnover in consecutive games. This remarkable feat demonstrated his impact on both ends of the floor and solidified his status as a rising star in the league.

In the 2022 off season, Dejounte Murray joined Trae Young’s Atlanta Hawks where he embraced the opportunity to help lead the Hawks to greater heights.
