The Denver Nuggets learned some devastating news on Wednesday that might derail their hot start of the 2023-24 campaign. Reportedly, Nuggets’ All-Star guard Jamal Murray is dealing with a hamstring injury and is set to miss three to four weeks.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Nuggets are taking a cautious approach with Murray and will give him as much time as he needs to properly recover.

“This will be something that will be longer than we would like,” Malone told reporters about Murray. “You have to have the big picture in mind and make sure we’re putting him in a position to get healthy before he comes back.”

Murray strained his hamstring during Saturday’s 123-101 win over the Chicago Bulls. He played only nine minutes, attempting three shots and scoring two points alongside two rebounds, before exiting the game.

Murray’s absence will likely be a tough blow for the Nuggets, considering he is their second-best player after superstar Nikola Jokic. The 26-year-old player hasn’t been scoring friendly to start the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 16.3 points per game, although his assists climbed to a career-high 7.4.

The Nuggets have been on a tear so far in the season, playing according to their status as NBA champions. They won seven out of their first eight games and currently own the best record in the league.

Denver Nuggets guard Will Barton stated that his team will have no choice but to “win by committee” as Jamal Murray’s date of return to action remains unclear.

The star point guard of the Nuggets, Murray tore his ACL last April; an injury that heavily crippled the Nuggets’ lineup and saw them crash out of the 2020-21 NBA Playoff conference semifinals, losing their series against the Phoenix Suns 4-0.

“I remember the next day speaking to our team and that was kind of the point I made at that time”, coach Michael Malone recalled of the day after Murray got injured. “No, there is not another Jamal Murray on this team and I don’t want anybody trying to be Jamal. No, we were going to make up for his loss as a committee, as long as everybody brought the best version of themselves.”

The Nuggets were able to achieve minimal success following Murray’s injury, defeating the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs. This was followed by their swift defeat by Phoenix.

The Nuggets will kick off their regular season with an opening game against Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.

Earlier this week, the Denver Nuggets experienced a truly unfortunate blow. In a game against the Golden State Warriors, star guard Jamal Murray suffered a torn ACL injury in his left knee. He was listed as being out indefinitely, but hopes aren’t optimistic that he’ll return to the court anytime soon.

When Murray went down, he held his knee strongly and it was clear to anyone watching that he was in serious pain. No matter what team you root for, watching someone get injured is never a happy sight, and the Warriors players were clearly concerned for him as well during that moment.

However, apparently Denver coach Mike Malone felt that Murray wasn’t receiving enough attention, because he ran onto the court demanding that medical come check on him.

Eventually, it was decided that Murray would need a wheelchair to leave the court, and he was brought one. However, he declined the offer, and instead hobbled off the court with the help of two team staff members.

Losing Murray for the season is an incredible blow to the Nuggets, a team that has been one of the best stories in the league over the last few years. Along with Jokic, Murray was considered their leader, and it’ll be hard for Denver to make a strong impact in the playoffs without him.
