Nuggets’ Jamal Murray earns first All-Star berth in ninth NBA season
Jamal Murray has earned his first career All-Star berth in his ninth NBA season. He is averaging career highs in points, shooting percentage, three-point percentage, rebounds, and assists. Murray has led the Nuggets through an injury epidemic that has sidelined key players like Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon. Jokic was earlier named an All-Star starter and on Sunday, Murray was announced as a reserve. Murray helped the Nuggets navigate the loss of Jokic for 16 games, during which they went 10-6, keeping pace in the Western Conference race.
