Jamal Murray hasn’t talked contract extension with Nuggets yet, but another NBA championship is on his mind more than a supermax

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:28:49 GMT

Michael Malone’s challenge for Jamal Murray in the new year is also Murray’s financial incentive.Injury skepticism now completely behind him entering 2023-24, Murray is an NBA champion whose reputation as one of the league’s elite point guards has relied on his playoff pedigree, when more eyes have been on him. But his next contract is dependent on the individual, regular-season honors that he says aren’t as important to him as winning a second ring.“My challenge for Jamal is to show that you can do what you did in 20 playoff games,” Malone said at Monday’s Nuggets media day on the eve of training camp. “Because what Jamal did in the playoffs was ridiculous. I know everybody talks about the Nuggets and Nikola. And Nikola’s a great player, but what Jamal did was incredible. … Now the challenge is, OK, you did it 20 games. You showed the world what you’re capable of. I want Jamal Murray to be an All-Star. I want Jamal M...

It reached a record 3:10 in 2021 before the introduction of the PitchCom electronic pitch-calling device helped bring it down to 3:04 last year. Over the objections of the players’ association, MLB instituted a pitch clock set at 15 seconds with the bases empty and 20 seconds with runners on base.“It took some getting used to, but once you get used to it the game’s...
