Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee.
Via the Denver Post:
When Jamal Murray crashed to the floor with less than a minute remaining in Monday’s loss to Golden State, his reaction suggested he knew something devastating had just happened.
Murray suffered a torn left ACL, The Denver Post first reported and was later anounced by the team early Tuesday morning, ending his season and compromising the Nuggets’ title hopes barely a month out from the postseason.
His recovery, according to a league source, is expected to be anywhere from 9 to 12 months.
Not only is Murray’s injury devastating to the Nuggets this season, but his recovery is expected to come near the end of next year’s regular season, when the NBA is back on its normal schedule.
Horrible news.
