Role
Murray is Denver's starting shooting guard and the co-star of the Nuggets' two-man game with Nikola Jokic. His 25.4 points and 7.1 assists a night in 2025-26 earned him All-NBA Third Team honors, and his pick-and-roll chemistry with Jokic remains the engine of Denver's half-court offense. When his jumper is falling, the Nuggets are nearly impossible to guard.
How he got here
Denver drafted Murray seventh overall in 2016 out of Kentucky. He signed a multi-year extension on September 11, 2024, keeping him under contract through 2029 before unrestricted free agency.
