Nuggets' Jamal Murray has torn ACL, out for season
Denver Nuggets shooting guard Jamal Murray has a torn ACL in his left knee, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
What It Means:
Murray will not be able to return this season and his rehab could keep him sidelined for the beginning of next season as well. Facundo Campazzo will likely take over as the Nuggets' starting point guard and Monte Morris should see a larger role with the second unit. Nikola Jokic will also be leaned on more to facilitate Denver's offense.
Campazzo is averaging 23.9 FanDuel points over four starts this season. Nikola Jokic is leading the Nuggets with a usage differential of plus-5.3 percent and averaging 1.6 FanDuel points per minute with Murray off the court this season.
