NBA Analyst Takes Shot At Denver Nuggets’ Jamal Murray

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray was stellar in the team’s first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers. He won two games with buzzer-beaters, including the walk-off in Game 5 to eliminate the Lakers from the 2024 NBA Playoffs.

However, in Round 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, it has been much tougher sledding for the Denver Nuggets and Jamal Murray. They find themselves in a 2-0 hole despite the series opening up on their home court.

Denver has not been able to find their footing against a very good Timberwolves defense. They have stifled the entire team to this point, especially Murray. In Game 1, he was 6-for-14 and -22. Game 2, he was 3-for-18 with four turnovers and was -16.

Emotions were running high as the Nuggets were struggling on the court. In a lapse of judgment, Jamal Murray tossed a heating pad he was wearing while on the bench at one of the referees on the court.

During a segment on ESPN’s Get Up this morning, the indecent with Murray was a talking point. Former NBA sharpshooter turned analyst Tim Legler tore into him, suggesting with certainty that a suspension is coming. On top of that, he also found time to poke fun at the Game 2 performance of the Nuggets guard.

“He was 3-for-18. I’m not shocked he missed Marc Davis with that heat pack,” Legler said.
