Murray, counting down to his return Denver’s ‘good news’

Jamal Murray 26 will soon appear on the court.

According to a reporter in charge of Denver, Harris Wind, Murray shook off his injury and rejoined the list on the 30th, and "newcomer" Jaylen Pickett will go down to the G League. The G League Grand Fizz Gold, which Pickett will join, will play five consecutive games for nine days from the 3rd of next month.

Denver, which includes Murray, will play its regular season home game against the Houston Rockets in the NBA 2023-24 season. He was listed as GTD decided on the same day along with Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Payton Watson and Hunter Tyson on the injured list. Therefore, he is expected to return against Houston or against the Phoenix Suns on the 2nd of next month.

Murray played in seven games this season with an average of 16.3 points and 7.4 assists with 43.3% success rate and a 3-point success rate of 43.8% 4.6. He was evaluated as having improved his ability to coordinate games in the 23-24 season.

Earlier this month, Murray was out of the line with a thigh injury. Then, a crisis came to Denver for a while. In 11 games without him, Denver lost 6-5 to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the top spot in the Western Conference.

However, Reggie Jackson, who played as the starting point guard in place of Murray, averaged 15.6 points, 5.2 assists, 52.7%, and 3 points, 43.2% 4 attempts. As a result, Denver recently won two consecutive games and succeeded in controlling the atmosphere that had been in a slump.

Meanwhile, Denver is currently second in the West with 12 wins and 6 losses 0.667. The Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, and Oklahoma City Thunder, who have recorded 11 wins, are fiercely chasing, while the Sacramento Kings and LA Lakers also have 10 wins, signaling fierce ranking competition.

Under these circumstances, Murray's return, which has established himself as a clear two option after Jokic, will come to Denver. 안전놀이터
