BREAKING NEWS: Jamal Murray Releases Official Statement Regarding Retirement from NBA
Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray has officially announced his retirement from the NBA, bringing an unexpected end to a promising basketball career. Sources close to the league confirm the news following Murray’s heartfelt statement released earlier today.
In his official message, Murray expressed deep gratitude to his fans, teammates, coaches, and the entire basketball community. “After much thought and reflection, I have decided to step away from professional basketball,” Murray stated. “This was not an easy decision, but one I believe is best for my health, my family, and my future beyond the court.”
Murray, 27, was known for his explosive scoring ability, clutch performances, and leadership with the Denver Nuggets since being drafted in 2016. He played a crucial role in the Nuggets’ 2023 run to the NBA Finals and was widely regarded as one of the most talented young guards in the league.

“I am incredibly thankful for the opportunities basketball has given me,” Murray added. “But I am also excited to pursue new passions and chapters in life.”
The NBA community has already begun sharing tributes, praising Murray’s competitive spirit, work ethic, and contributions on and off the court.
Murray’s retirement marks the end of an era for the Nuggets and leaves fans wondering about the team’s next chapter without their star guard.
