The Denver Nuggets didn’t show up for Game 2.
It’s one thing to lose, and anything can happen in the playoffs, especially against a great team like the Minnesota Timberwolves.
However, even in losses, the players must act professionally and sportsmanlike, and that wasn’t the case with Jamal Murray.
According to a report by Dave McMenamin of ESPN, the Canadian star left the arena without addressing the media.
Nuggets guard Jamal Murray left without speaking to reporters, according to a team spokesperson.

Of course, that happens every now and then, but Murray had been caught on camera with some questionable behavior during the game.
While on the bench, Murray threw a heat pack and a towel on the court, which was reckless and dangerous.
On top of that, he was complaining for most of the game while his team was getting run off the floor.
Murray has always been a bit of an instigator, and he’s the kind of player who loves to talk trash and even instigate the fans when he hits a good shot, or things are going his way.
That’s perfectly fine, but you’ve got to walk the walk if you talk the talk.
The Nuggets are now down 0-2, and the series will head to the Twin Cities for Games 3 and 4.
The Timberwolves are playing like a team on a mission right now, and they clearly want to get back at them after being eliminated by them last season.
This wasn’t a good look for Murray at all, and this team won’t stand a chance if he lets Anthony Edwards get into his head.
