“Embrace the moment when you join the Lakers this summer”: Jamal Murray hints towards joining forces with LeBron James and Anthony Davis in LA

Nuggets star Jamal Murray recently sent the social media into a tizzy by liking a tweet that indicated him joining the LA Lakers.

Before the playoffs this year, Murray suffered a torn ACL on his left knee, which led to being out indefinitely.

Murray’s injury came as a setback to the Nuggets, who were having a great season until then, with Nikola Jokic having an MVP season followed by the acquiring of Aaron Gordon.

Murray’s absence could clearly be felt in the 2021 NBA Playoffs. The Nuggets were swept in the western conference semi-finals 4-0 by the Phoenix Suns.

It would not be wrong to say that Murray has the best phase of his career in the 2020 Orlando Bubble. The Nuggets star averaged 24.4 PPG, 6.3 APG, and 4.8 RPG in the 2020 playoffs, scoring 50.2% from the field and 43.3% from the 3-point line. Murray has 2 games with 50-points.

The Nuggets star also helped his team overcome a 3-1 deficit back-to-back, his performance against the Clippers in Game Seven stunned everyone.

There have been rumors of the Lakers trying to get rid of Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell doing the rounds.
