Josh Kroenke mentioned Jamal Murray’s injury struggles during the playoffs with the Denver Nuggets and in the Olympics, pointing to his ankle injury and left calf strain as contributing factors.
Kroenke acknowledged that when facing tough competition in the NBA playoffs or at the Olympics, players like Murray will give their best effort despite not being at 100%. He emphasized the importance of getting Murray back to full health to see him perform like he did in the NBA Finals.
Murray is eligible for a $208.5 million extension over four seasons and is represented by Mike George and Jeff Schwartz. Reports indicate that Murray and the Nuggets are likely to reach a max extension agreement this offseason.
