Jamal Murray News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Scores team-high 21 points Murray notched 21 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Friday's 121-106 preseason win over the Lakers.

Impact Murray paced Denver in scoring despite missing his three attempts from long range. The veteran guard compensated by attacking inside the perimeter and converting all five free throws, while his six assists were the second-best mark on the team behind Nikola Jokic's eight. Murray's ability to contribute as both a scorer and playmaker should keep him firmly established as an excellent fantasy option heading into the regular season, and he'll operate as the Nuggets' No. 2 scoring alternative behind Jokic.

Accurate shooting in defeat Murray tallied 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist in 17 minutes in Wednesday's 122-110 preseason loss to the Clippers.

Impact Murray delivered his most efficient preseason outing, hitting six of eight shots in just over a quarter. The veteran guard has played limited minutes this exhibition season and will take on his customary load once the regular season tips off.

He's the No. 2 option on offense behind Nikola Jokic and isn't expected to play heavy minutes in preseason with the start of the 2026-27 regular season just around the corner.
