Murray led the squad in scoring this season with a career-high 21.2 points per game, which is second only to current NBA MVP Nikola Jokić. Murray also averaged 4.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists.

Murray’s recovery from an ACL tear caused him to miss the 2021–2022 season. The Canadian guard helped lead the squad to an NBA championship after he resumed play in 2022–2023. In the Nuggets’ 4-1 series win over the Miami Heat in the Finals, Murray was crucial in multiple games, including a 30-point triple-double in Game 3.
