He has played for the Clippers, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Toronto Raptors, and the New Jersey Nets throughout his 12-year, 736-game NBA career, averaging 11.3 points per game. After one season with the Nets, he re-signed with the Clippers in October 2006[1] and was released several days later.[2]

In 2002, after being traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Toronto Raptors, he tore a lisfranc ligament in his right foot during a pre-season game and subsequently missed the entire 2002–03 NBA season.[3]

In 2009, Lamond Murray joined the Bahrain Basketball Association in Bahrain. He played for Al-Muharraq Sports Club.[4] He was inducted into the Pac-12 Basketball Hall of Honor during the 2012 Pac-12 Conference men's basketball tournament, March 10, 2012.[5]
