Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Undergoes successful surgery Thursday

Murray (sports hernia) underwent successful surgery Thursday.

Analysis:

After playing through most of the 2016-17 season with a sports hernia, Murray underwent successful surgery to correct the issue. He should have a full offseason ahead of him to rest and recover in order to get back into form for his sophomore season. Murray averaged 9.9 points and 2.1 assists across 21.5 minutes per game this season and could be a candidate to take over the Nuggets' starting point guard role next year with Emmanuel Mudiay showing little improvement.
