Jamal Murray has been amazing this season, and perhaps the most impressive thing about him has been his availability. In a season where the Nuggets have been hit with an absurd rash of injuries, the previously injury-prone Murray has been the steadying force, playing in 41 of a possible 45 games so far.
Of all the guys to be a relative iron man and carry the team through the regular season, Jamal would not have been one of my first guesses. But he has defied the odds this season, determined to prove a point and make a statement, and that’s exactly what he’s done.
