The Kings concluded a six-game road trip Friday night in Detroit, so it'd be safe to say they were snacking on Murray-provided Chick-fil-A on the flight back to Sacramento.
Chick-fil-A bills are a small price to pay for Murray, who's part of the culture change in Sacramento that the team hopes can end its 16-year playoff drought. The young forward is averaging 11.9 points per game and shooting 42.9 percent from the field and 37 percent from 3-point range, as the Kings sit fifth in the Western Conference at 16-12.

The Kings will be home for the remainder for December, so Murray will have two more weeks to save up for the next road trip.
