Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray was listed as questionable several hours before his team’s match vs. the Indiana Pacers.
However, he played, and he did it in the best way possible.
Just 2 days after the guard sprained his right ankle, Jamal delivered 1 of his most efficient performances in the league in the current campaign. Murray made 19 of 25 shots, including an incredible 10-of-11 from the 3-point line, to finish with a campaign-high 52 points in a 135-120 triumph vs. the defending East Conference champions.

The 91% clip from deep evened the highest in a match in NBA history (with at least 10 attempts).
“Keep shooting,” Jamal shared when asked what he thought when he saw his shots being successful. “I have been in the NBA for a long time, and right now I just have fun playing.”
The Nuggets guard was in such a great mood that he even inked an autograph during the match.
Murray was very close to beating his career high of 55 points that he had vs. the Blazers at the beginning of 2025. Jamal finished with 6 boards, 4 assists, and just a single turnover tonight.
HAVE YOURSELF A NIGHT, JAMAL MURRAY.
