There is only one match left until the end of the regular season in the NBA league, and then there is real excitement in the form of the playoffs. Just before the playoffs, Nikola Jokic received two bad news.
Our basketball player was expected to receive support in the playoffs in the form of Jamal Murray, but the Denver ace received very bad news.
Namely, as the respected journalist Shams Charania announced, the Canadian playmaker will not return to the field this season, although it was planned.
Murray injured his anterior cruciate ligaments on April 13 last season in a duel with Golden State. An operation followed, then a recovery, so that the lucid play was recently played in the Development League.
However, it is too early for Murray to return to the floor in matches of the highest intensity, such as those in the playoffs. Especially in the later stages…
The other bad news for Jokic is that there will be no third player on the field until the end of the season – Michael Porter Jr.!

The talented winger was injured in late November in a match against the Houston Rockets and had to undergo back surgery.
Porter was recovering from the injury at a slightly faster pace than Murray, but he was not ready to return to the floor.
Although it was expected that Jokic could get much-needed help in the playoffs, there was nothing of that and now he will have to carry the Denver team on his shoulders.
And Jokic did it more than well throughout the season. He thus became the first player in the history of the league to score over 2,000 points in one season, record over 1,000 rebounds, and hand out over 500 assists!
True, Denver is facing a clash with Golden State in the first round of the playoffs, and it will really be a real test for the Nuggets as much as they can this season.
We repeat it once again without the second and third players on the team…
