Jamal Murray is making a triumphant return to the playoffs in the 2022-23 season after sitting out for two years due to an ACL injury. He had a breakout performance in the Orlando bubble in 2020 when he averaged 26.5 points and 6.6 assists in 19 games. Now he's averaging even better numbers in the first two games of the postseason, proving he's not just living up to the "Bubble Murray" moniker but plans to surpass it. Murray has scored 32 points per game in the first two games of the playoffs, with a 500/500/909 shooting line. Teammate Michael Porter Jr. believes Murray looks better than ever, but Murray himself says he hasn't even hit his best yet. He plans to prove that Bubble Murray was just the beginning for him.

Murray is not the only one on the Denver Nuggets making a comeback. Michael Porter Jr. had to overcome multiple back surgeries and is living his dream by playing for the number one team in the West. The Oklahoma City Thunder's head of basketball operations is not ruling out the possibility of Chet Holmgren playing for the OKC's Summer League squad.
