NBA Insider Predicts Jamal Murray Could Be Traded by Denver Nuggets This Season

NBA Insider Predicts Jamal Murray Could Be Traded by Denver Nuggets This Season
World Sports · 12:46:59 - Saturday, 7 November 2026

An NBA insider has suggested that Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray may be moved via trade during the current season. The speculation comes as Murray continues to be a key figure for the Nuggets, having started in their Game 6 first-round playoff matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on April 30, 2026.

Heavy's Joey Haverford reported the prediction on November 6, 2026, citing league sources who believe Denver could explore dealing the 27-year-old point guard as the franchise evaluates its roster construction around Nikola Jokić. Murray, who has spent his entire eight-year career with the Nuggets, averaged 21.2 points and 6.5 assists per game last season while shooting 40.8% from three-point range.

Any potential trade would represent a significant shift for a Denver core that reached the NBA Finals in 2023. The Nuggets front office has not publicly commented on the rumors, and Murray remains under contract through the 2026-27 season.
