Jamal Murray Set To Continue Extension Talks Following Poor Olympics Showing
4 months agoDenver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray is expected to resume extension talks after Canada's run at the Paris Olympics ended with an 82-73 loss in the quarterfinals to France. The Denver star had another poor showing in the game, which perfectly wrapped up his Olympic performances. Murray averaged a measly 6.0 points across 20.5 minutes, shooting 29 percent from the field and 14.3 percent from behind the arc. He was limited to 3.8 assists and 0.5 steals and recorded 2.3 turnovers per game. However, these numbers are unlikely to affect the outcome of his contract talks. Murray is expected to sign a four-year, $208.5 million maximum extension with Denver.
