Jamal Murray leads way for Nuggets in his return to playoffs

DENVER -- Jamal Murray had to sit and watch on the sidelines for the Denver Nuggets' last two postseason appearances.

So when he finally got back on the court for a Denver playoff game Sunday night, emotions were running a little high.

"I haven't felt that much excitement in a minute, probably since the beginning of the season," Murray said.

It was Murray's first playoff game since Sept. 26, 2020, which came in the NBA bubble, and his first playoff game at home since May 12, 2019 -- back when Ball Arena was still called the Pepsi Center.
