“Jamal Murray curled off a screen at the elbow and drove to the hoop for an easy layup. It was only then did he realize what jersey he was wearing.
Instead of “Denver” or “Nuggets” across his chest — all he’s known since being drafted at No. 7 overall in 2017 — he looked down and saw “Canada” in black letters on a bright red jersey.
“Damn, it’s been a minute since I’ve had this jersey on,” Murray recalled thinking after his first game for his home country in nine years.
It was an exhibition game at T-Mobile Arena against the United States as both countries get ready to compete for gold at the Paris Olympics this summer, but simply to have Murray on the court was a monumental moment for a Canada program that has quickly become one of the world’s best in recent years.”

Lights won’t be bright enough until he hits a medal game tbh. I have little expectation. High hopes for the Nuggets rs though.
