This one stings, Spurs fans. After a summer-long journey of growing as a player and taking the starting point guard mantle from Tony Parker, third-year guard Dejounte Murray is likely out for the season after tearing his ACL on Sunday evening.
Murray drove past reigning- MVP James Harden en route to the basket and felt his knee buckle. This sent him to the ground, writhing in pain before he exited the game. After becoming the youngest player to make an All-NBA Defensive Team in his second season, Murray was on the horizon of a breakout campaign for head coach Gregg Popovich.
