Jamal Murray has dreamed about his return “since the first day I got hurt.” On Wednesday night at Utah, after a year-and-a-half-long journey that tested his stubborn nerves, he’ll get his reward.
There was hesitation in his game, moreso on defense than offense, and the last thing Murray wanted to do was return, in the crucible of the postseason, and freeze. In those private games, Murray was “coasting,” able to rely on his offensive skill enough to be competitive, but still reluctant to commit on defense.When Murray found himself in the paint, grappling for a rebound was an afterthought.When a screen came, he’d pause to re-route his direction, while simultaneously taking contact.
The pressure bubbled over when Murray, unable to prove how hard he was working in the gym, tweeted: “Y’all don’t think I want to be out there huh … crazy.” Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets sits on the bench before the first quarter against the Golden State Warriors on Monday, March 7, 2022. When the season ended, Murray took what he needed. For two or three weeks, he detached. He stayed to himself, barely working out, slowly decompressing from the stress of his non-return.
During one stop in Denver, general manager Calvin Booth made it a priority to check in with Murray. Over dinner, the two talked about the shared opportunity ahead of them — the one Booth has in his first season running a championship contender, and the one Murray has in reminding everybody who he is.
“Any time you get outside of basketball, you’re able to relate with people on a personal level, it’s really fun,” LaVine said of his conversations with Murray.But Murray and LaVine text every so often, and the Bulls’ guard told him to reach out with any questions about his return. His parting message to Murray, though, was a reminder to embrace what wasn’t there.
