Jamal Murray has shared important insights about the Denver Nuggets' team spirit when Nikola Jokic is not on the court. There has been ongoing doubt about whether the other players can perform well without their star player. Many believe that winning without Jokic is very challenging, which is often true in sports. Currently, Jokic is out due to an ankle injury and is expected to miss several games. Despite this, Murray and his teammates, including Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr., remain confident. They still aim to be serious contenders for the NBA title this season. Murray emphasized that the team had to prove to themselves that they could succeed without Jokic. In a recent game against the Houston Rockets, the Nuggets won 116-111 without Jokic. Murray scored 39 points, showing that the team can play well even without their MVP. Although they recognize that they need Jokic to win championships, this victory highlighted their potential as individual players. For the Nuggets to succeed in the playoffs, they will need to maintain their performance level and continue to support Jokic when he returns. The recent wins against teams like the Rockets and Golden State have boosted their confidence. Now, the focus is on keeping up their strong play for the future.
