Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray severely underperformed in the Olympics.
Jamal Murray has been known to be a playoff riser and someone who often rises under the heat of pressure. Unfortunately for Murray, the exact opposite happened during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Throughout the Olympics, Jamal Murray averaged only six points a game, with 41.2% shooting from two and 14.3% shooting from three. He played off the bench, in a role that the championship guard wasn't used to. Murray opened up about the struggles during an interview with“It was a tough experience, personally,” Murray said. “It’s an adjustment, for sure. First time coming off the bench, and on top of that, not playing on the ball,” Murray said.
Canada guard Jamal Murray looks on in the second quarter against USA in the USA Basketball Showcase at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: / Candice Ward-USA TODAY Sports During Team Canada's final Olympic game against France, Murray put up a hollow 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 turnovers on 3/13 shooting from the field. It definitely seemed like Murray struggled to come off the bench, both on and off the court. It's hard to say how Murray could fit in a starting lineup that contained Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the point guard, but Murray just didn't work off the bench.
