Murray says he will maintain his college eligibility, leaving the door open for a return to Iowa.
“The opportunity to get feedback and the experience working out for NBA teams will help me become the best player I can possibly be and take my game to the next level,” Murray writes.
“I have big plans for next year and this experience will help me do that! I appreciate everyone’s support and Go Hawks!”
“We fully support Kris using this opportunity to receive NBA feedback,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said in a tweeted statement. “Kris took great strides and really came into his own last season. He is going through this process with a professional approach, and we are excited to see his game grow to another level.”
Murray played in 35 games this past season, making 1 start. He was Iowa’s leading scorer (9.7 ppg) and rebounder (4.3 rpg) off the bench.
