Denver Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray's season is over after tearing his left ACL during a game against the Golden State Warriors. According to a team statement, because of Murray's injury he will be out indefinitely. This is a huge blow to the Nuggets who have been having a great month on the court and were hoping to have a deep run into the playoffs this year. The Nuggets are currently fourth in the Western Conference and six games behind the Utah Jazz. In the last 10 games, they have 8 wins and 2 losses. With the absence of Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and Will Barton will need to increase their productivity on offense to replace Jamal's nightly numbers.
