Is Jamal Murray sick? Concerns Emerge About Nuggets Star After Surprise Outfit Choice Against Clippers

Only a handful of players in the NBA have the ability to elevate their game to another level in the playoffs. Jamal Murray is one of them. During the Nuggets’ historic title run two years ago, the point guard played a crucial role, upping his averages to 26.1 points and over seven assists. This year, Denver fans expect a similar run from him. And Murray is trying his best to live up to those expectations despite playing through adversity.

Well, Jamal has been dealing with a lingering hamstring injury for quite some time. That even caused him to miss some games toward the end of the regular season. So, when his name was not on the injury report for tonight’s Game 2 clash against the Clippers, it was a huge relief for Nuggets’ fans. However, that feeling quickly turned to concern when Murray showed up to the court wearing a full sleeve warmer underneath his jersey. An unusual outfit choice indeed.

When the game began, the point guard did not look a 100%, visibly slow in his step while moving up and down the court. Speculations began that Murray is dealing with sickness. But there is no official report confirming it yet. Moreover, the sickness, if there was any, did not reflect in his performance. He played his usual 19 minutes in the first half and even led his team in scoring with 12 points.

Of course, the fans’ concern is justified because Murray has never worn such long sleeve warmers during games. Also, he logged in a whopping 48 minutes on Saturday to lead his team to an overtime victory in Game 1, which could have led to fatigue and overexertion. But as long as Murray plays his usual minutes and continues getting buckets, fans should not be worried.
