Jamal Murray suffers torn ACL in devastating Nuggets blow
NY Post
Jamal Murray made the leap to superstardom during last year’s playoffs. He won’t have a chance to repeat that.
The Nuggets star suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, the team announced Tuesday, after getting injured during the Nuggets’ 116-107 loss to the Warriors on Monday night. Murray, who the Nuggets say will be out “indefinitely,” had to be helped off the court after refusing to get in a wheelchair in the final minute. Murray had missed the previous four games with right knee soreness, though this injury was to the other knee. Murray pounded the court in frustration while he lay on the ground after coming down awkwardly on his leg after a drive to the basket.More Related News
