The Denver Nuggets are currently going through a bad period in their season and it is clear that even Nikola Jokic cannot single-handedly pull the franchise from Colorado, which is slowly losing concentration and strength in the Western Conference. Coach Mike Malone's team suffered four straight losses, and at many times it was evident that they were missing a key player, Jamal Murray.
Although he is often criticized for his form, Jamal Murray is, along with Jokić, one of the best players in the team. He was the foundation of the team in the season behind us, and there is no doubt that it will be so in the future.
Although fans and experts tend to take a critical approach when it comes to him, most believe that this player has many advantages.
However, when it is most needed, Murray is the best and has solved numerous games for Denver, and that is what the fans appreciate the most.
Injury problems
Currently, this great NBA player is struggling with problems in the back box, which have been bothering him for several moments this season. The recovery is going slower than planned, because he is often on the list of players with the status "under a question mark", only to be placed among the injured before the game itself.
This week, before the game with Indiana, Malone had to inform the press that Murray is still not at full strength.
This has raised concerns among everyone, but you can't have much influence on such things, except to hope that everything turns out well for your team and the players.
"He's injured, we're not saving him. He really has problems, and we're not in a situation to guard him," said Malone after the loss to Indiana (120:125).
The Nuggets coach added that he hopes that Jamal will be ready by the start of the playoffs, but stressed that the recovery process is something that is difficult to predict. "This is a really strange injury. We were moving from day to day, and now it's not that simple anymore...", said Michael Malone.
