The 6-foot-4 Murray made an impressive comeback last season after missing the 2021-22 campaign with a torn ACL. He returned to help Jokic lead the Nuggets to an NBA championship in 2023.

In 59 games (all starts) with Denver last season, he averaged a career-high-tying 21.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, a career-best 6.5 assists, 1.0 steal, and 31.5 minutes per contest.

Per Basketball-Reference, he also shot career bests of 48.1% from the field and 42.5% from 3-point range. His player efficiency rating (20.7) and usage rate (27.9%) were career bests as well.

Murray was one of three NBA players to average 20 points, six assists, and 40% shooting from deep last season

The Nuggets tied a franchise record with 57 wins last season. They were 16-2 when Jamal Murray scored 25 or more points. Denver went 8-9 when he played but scored 17 or fewer. In the games he missed, Denver went 13-10.

The Kitchener, Ontario, native recorded a season-high 37 points in a 131-114 win against the Detroit Pistons on Jan. 7 and in a 142-121 victory over the Utah Jazz on March 9.

Furthermore, Jamal Murray was one of three players to average 20 points, six assists, and 40% shooting from beyond the arc last season, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

In addition to being one of eight players with multiple 50-point playoff games in NBA history, he’s the Nuggets’ all-time leader in made 3-pointers (990). Will Barton (804) dropped to second on the list.

Despite his remarkable stats, Murray has yet to earn his first NBA All-Star selection.
