Jamal Murray was the only Denver Nuggets player to appear in all 82 games, which is a nice accomplishment for anyone, let alone a rookie.

The 20-year-old had something else going on, though. According to Altitude Sports' Chris Dempsey, Murray was suffering from a hernia:

It's unclear what options Murray will be exploring over the summer, but Dempsey reports he'll be ready for training camp.

The former Kentucky Wildcat was the No. 7 overall pick in last year's draft and averaged 9.9 points on 40.4 percent shooting in his debut season with the Nuggets. He finished the season strong, posting 27 points in Denver's regular-season finale on Wednesday.
