Denver’s clutch king is staying put! The Nuggets have locked in star guard Jamal Murray with a four-year, $208 million contract extension, ESPN reported Saturday. 💰 This deal keeps the 27-year-old playoff phenom in Denver through 2028-29, avoiding next summer’s free agency frenzy.
Murray’s regular-season stats (17.5 PPG, 4.5 APG) might not scream All-NBA, but ask any hoops fan about his playoff magic ✨: 24.2 PPG averages, game-winning daggers, and that iconic 2023 championship run. His bounce-back from a 2021 ACL tear 🩹 cemented his reputation as one of basketball’s most resilient big-game players.
“This is home,” Murray told reporters last season about Denver. With Nikola Jokić already secured long-term, the Nuggets are doubling down on their dynasty-building duo. 🏆 Will this mega-deal fuel another Larry O’Brien Trophy parade in the Rockies? The Mile High City sure thinks so.
