Despite major injury, Nuggets still confident they can continue to roll to NBA title

In the immediate aftermath of Jamal Murray’s season-ending injury, conventional wisdom suggested the Denver Nuggets’ season was essentially over.

Th Nuggets, who improved to 42-21 after their win over the Toronto Raptors on Thursday, had gone all-in on a championship this season when they acquired Aaron Gordon from the Orlando Magic at the trade deadline. And the Nuggets won the first seven games with him in the lineup.

Then Murray, who had a star turn during the NBA bubble last season in Orlando, suffered a season-ending ACL injury on April 12 against the Warriors. The trajectory changed for a team that was thought to have a legitimate title shot, and their fully-loaded bandwagon suddenly had plenty of space available.

The Nuggets have gone 8-1 since Murray’s injury. And those seemingly dashed title hopes don’t seem as far-fetched.
