“Nobody likes competing more than Jamal. I know he wants to be back. It’s all about his body.” — Will Barton on Jamal Murray's potential return to the Nuggets lineup From msinger MileHighBasketball
As good as the Nuggets are , Barton knows what the potential returns of Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray could mean for the Nuggets during the playoffs.
Porter, it appears, is trending closer to a return than Murray following back surgery on Dec. 1. His eagerness to play has been a poorly kept secret in NBA circles. “Nobody likes competing more than Jamal,” Barton said. “I know he wants to be back. It’s all about his body.” Perhaps nobody on the Nuggets has a better perspective on their plight than Barton, whose various injuries have robbed him of postseason success. During the 2018-19 season, he returned to the court following core surgery and admitted he was playing catchup all year long. In 2019-20, he left the “Bubble” at the start of the playoffs due to a lingering right knee issue. Last season, he returned in Game 2 of the second round vs. Phoenix, having been hampered by a hamstring injury for weeks.
