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 Exits With Ankle Sprain

The Denver Nuggets won the game over the Miami Heat. However, they aren’t in the mood to celebrate after witnessing Jamal Murray fall awkwardly.

Murray, who has previously dealt with ankle injuries, has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain. It is undetermined how long he will be out, but reports have speculated that he will be out for the next couple of games.

He accidentally stepped on Aaron Gordon’s foot after assisting Nikola Jokic.

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.
