As Nuggets await word on Jamal Murray’s knee, the impact of his potential absence is clear


Jamal Murray had to sleep in his living room.

On Jan. 15, 2020, six months before his star turn in the NBA’s Orlando bubble, the Nuggets point guard watched his right ankle swell to the size of a grapefruit as he sat at his locker.
