Murray was drafted by Denver in 2016, and has been a key player for the Nuggets for the past several seasons. He has been a cemented starter since 2019.

This season, Murray averaged a career-high 21.2 points per game, the second-highest total on the team behind reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokić, and chipped in an average of 4.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists.

Murray missed the 2021-22 season while recovering from an ACL tear. Upon returning to play in 2022-23, the Canadian guard helped lead the team to an NBA championship. Murray came in clutch for several games in the Nuggets' 4-1 series victory over the Miami Heat in the Finals, including a 30-point triple-double in Game 3.
