Nuggets star Jamal Murray 'devastated' after season-ending ACL injury, Michael Malone says

Michael Malone says Jamal Murray is "devastated" after the Denver Nuggets point guard was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Speaking for the first time since the Nuggets announced they will be without their star point guard indefinitely, Malone said the team could see Murray's anguish over the season-ending injury.

"It's been an emotional 24, 36 hours," the Nuggets head coach said before the Nuggets faced the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. "Jamal is devastated, understandably so. I think the team is also a little. We understand the importance of Jamal Murray.
