Murray is from Seattle, and he recently hosted a camp in the city.
Following the camp, he made a post to Instagram with a lengthy caption.
Murray wrote: "DEJOUNTE MURRAY CAMP RECAPβ¦π₯π₯π₯π₯ Thank You To All The Parents That Believed In Us And Sent Their Kids For The Weekend. ππ½ Thank You To All The Kids For Coming To Work Hard And Learn. π€ Thank You To All The Workers That Came And Helped Out.π€ CONGRATULATIONS To The Team With 8 Players That Won The Camp And Will Receive $10,000 For A Trust Fund Or Anything To Do With School!!!! π―ππ½π€ #DM5π€. π₯ @shotbyerick_"
One person who left a comment was his former teammate, All-Star point guard Trae Young.

Murray and Young only spent two seasons together.
They were able to make the NBA playoffs in 2023, but are coming off a tough year where they were the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 36-46 record.
The Hawks missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.
