According to Reports Murray and the Nuggets are in negotiations for a four-year deal extension for up to $209 million. According to reports, discussions will take place this summer, with the Nuggets proposing the deal to Murray. Both parties are anticipated to agree on the parameters.

Murray has been an essential player for Denver Nuggets for the past several seasons and has been a dependable starter since 2019. Denver picked Murray with the seventh overall choice in the 2016 NBA Draft. He inked a $170 million, five-year contract with Denver in 2019.

Jamal Murray was key member during playoffs

With an average of 26.1 points and 7.1 assists per game during the playoffs, Murray was incredible. His impressive showing in the 2019–20 bubble playoffs, when he averaged 26.5 points and 6.6 assists per game and had many standout performances including two consecutive 50-point games against the Utah Jazz in the opening round was brought to mind by this.

Murray will be joined by two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. as Denver attempts to rebound from last season's second-round loss to Minnesota Timberwolves. The new agreement keeps Murray with the Nuggets at least until the end of the 2028-29 season.
