The Denver Nuggets received a devastating loss by one of their best players.
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee and will be out indefinitely, the team announced Tuesday.
Murray suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury during the Nuggets’ 116-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. He crumpled to the ground in pain, clutching his left knee and pounding the court with his hand after trying to split two Warriors defenders on a drive with 50.6 seconds remaining and the Nuggets trailing 111-104.
This makes me mad because I hate seeing good, talented players go down because of injuries. Murray’s injury puts the lid on the Nuggets’ title hopes for this season. Michael Porter Jr and Will Barton will have to step up in the absence of Jamal Murray. Injuries are part of the game. He’s another name on the list of players who have dealt with injuries this season.
