The Denver Nuggets will not be losing one of their franchise players any time soon, as, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Jamal Murray has signed a $208 million extension.

Murray was set to enter this season looking for a new contract. If he didn’t sign an extension, he would have been an unrestricted free agent in 2025-26.

Denver has signed him to a four-year, $208 million max extension. This will add to the $36 million Murray was set to make in the 2024-25 season and guarantee the 27-year-old $244 million over the next five seasons.

Per ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the final year of his deal will see a significant payout of $57.5 million. Murray’s contract will run through the 2028-29 season.

Jamal Murray (Hamstring) Out 3-4 Weeks

A turn not many fans were hoping for has become a reality with Jamal Murray officially being out for the remainder of the month.

Murray suffered the right hamstring strain during Saturday night’s win over the Chicago Bulls; once he suffered the injury, Murray did not return. For the second half of the game, Reggie Jackson assumed his starting role.

Michael Malone originally called this injury “not a one or two game injury.” The new game plan is to allow him to recover the best he can, not to rush him back into action, and take it from there.

Jamal Murray Set To Miss Time With Hamstring Strain

According to head coach Michael Malone, one of Denver’s star players, Jamal Murray, will be out for an undetermined amount of time due to a hamstring issue.

While he was dealing with hamstring tightness throughout training camp, many didn’t think it would affect Murray this early in the season.

Plus, and this is where it gets worse for the Nuggets optimistic crowd, this strain is “not a one or two game injury.”

Despite it being unclear on when he’ll return, the only thing clear about this injury is that it’ll take time to heal.

Until Murray returns, Reggie Jackson could be the one to assume his role and be placed into the starting lineup.
