Jamal Murray is expected to return at some point this season after missing the majority of the 2020-21 season due to a torn ACL in his left knee. However, no date has been set as of yet.
Jamal Murray made his entry on the court against the Warriors on April 12 after missing the previous four games due to soreness on his right knee.
Murray’s knee buckled during a dive to the basket in the fourth quarter of the game, and was later ruled out for the season due to a torn left ACL.
The Nuggets suffered a significant setback as a result of this.
The average recovery time for a torn ACL is a calendar year, so he’ll be back in April 2022. Will the Denver Nuggets put their star guard under pressure to return this season, despite the fact that he is expected to be out for more than two months?
Here’s everything we know about his injury and the most recent information on when he might be able to return to the court.
What Happened To Jamal Murray? Is He Injured?
On April 12, Murray collapsed in agony after injuring his knee during a dive to the basket in the final seconds of the match against the Golden State Warriors which resulted in a 116–107 loss.
The Denver Nuggets’ star point guard declined a wheelchair from the team’s medical staff. Jamal hobbled off the court with the assistance of two staff members.
The next day, he had an MRI early in the morning to determine the extent of his left knee injury. Murray was declared out indefinitely by the Nuggets after being diagnosed with a torn ACL.

Jamal Murray Injury Update
Jamal Murray has been recuperating from his ACL injury for more than nine months. Murray spent most of his months rehabbing in Denver and Phoenix.
However, although he says he will feel rejuvenated when he finally returns as a star point guard for the Denver Nuggets, he doesn’t want to return until he feels really good.
Jamal has made it clear he won’t return when he is 85% well, regardless of how the team is playing without him. It is important to him not to rush his recovery. He will only return when he feels like he can play with the same energy and level that he normally used to.
