Denver has a big problem this season with the results. Nikola Jokic is pulling as much as he can, but he lacks support. Mostly in the form of Jamal Murray. But, good news is coming for the whole team as the other key player of the team will soon return to the floor!
The Canadian has not played since April last year when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in the match with the Golden State Warriors.
The Nuggets don’t want to rush Murray back. Doctors are ready to allow him to play soon. March is mentioned as the date of return, but closing date is still unknown.
How much Murray means to Denver is also shown by the fact that he scored 21.2 points before the injury last season, with 4.8 assists, four rebounds, and 1.3 stolen balls per game.
The 25-year-old basketball player is expected to catch up quickly and help the Nuggets with a rise in the West table to secure a direct place in the NBA playoffs.
The Nuggets are sixth in the West with a score of 33-25. In the first match after the All-Star break, they are visiting the Sacramento Kings on Friday at 4 o’clock in the morning.
