Udoka Azubuike Signs With KK Buducnost

Jamal Murray will likely be out for the remainder of November due to a right hamstring strain.

Murray was hurt in a victory by the Denver Nuggets over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. Murray also dealt with a similar injury in the preseason.

“This will be something that will be longer than we would like,” Malone said this week. “You have to have the big picture in mind and make sure we’re putting him in position to get healthy before he comes back.”

Murray didn’t sign a contract extension with the Nuggets in the offseason and could become supermax eligible if he makes an All-NBA team. Murray has yet to make an All-Star team or All-NBA team in his career, but he has established himself as one of the league’s best guards during the 2020 and 2023 playoffs.

LeBron James has widely been expected to play one to two more seasons in the NBA, but his exact timeline is unclear and he doesn’t appear to even know when he’ll decide to retire. James turned 40 in December and is in his 21st season in the NBA.

“It’s popping up more and more every year,” said James on Wednesday’s ‘Pat McAfee Show’. “Obviously, I know that I’m on the other side of the hill than the other side. For me, it’s about my mind. I’m all about the process. If it gets to the point where I don’t feel like showing up to the arena five hours in advance. Or I don’t feel like training. Or I don’t feel like studying the scout sheet of guys. If it gets to that point, I’ll know, ‘You know what, Bron, that’s a wrap.’ I will be able to tell.”

James is on track to make an All-NBA team for the 19th time in his career with the only times he wasn’t on one coming as a rookie in 2004 and his injury-shortened 18-19 season.
