Yeah, they both look promising. We saw Jamal play in our gym the other day; he’s moving while cutting well. When you have an injury of that nature, you just wonder about the apprehension in certain situations. You’re starting to see that dissipate more, which is good. As long as he’s comfortable moving and exploding and knowing that like he might be in some uncomfortable positions, but he’s not going to hurt himself again, I think that’ll be useful. As far as Mike goes, I think he just kind of takes it slow and steady. Feels great. He’s shooting. He’s lifting a lot, working on getting healthy.

According to Michael Porter Jr.’s brother, Jontay, whose knee injuries sidelined him the past season but is back with the Nuggets’ Summer League team, Jamal Murray’s agility is coming along. “He looked great,” Porter said. “His jumper is as amazing as ever. He’s moving really well, too, especially coming from a guy who’s had ACL injuries as well.”

Jontay Porter took the last year off from basketball rehabbing his knee. He didn’t touch a basketball for six months and focused on building his body back up. Porter didn’t know if he would ever play again but said today he’s giving it “one more go” with Denver at Summer League. – 5:39 PM

Last time TJ Warren was healthy, he averaged 19.8 PPG and shot 57.5% on 2s and 40.3% on 3s. Since 2010, only 6 others have done that: Steph Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, KAT, MPJ and John Collins.

Jamal Murray participated in parts of Denver’s practice/scrimmage today. Sounds like he played some live action. Matt Mitchell says he got one stop on Murray today, then Murray got him back on the next possession. – 5:19 PM

The only players still on the Nuggets roster from the last time Jamal Murray played are Murray, MPJ, Gordon, Jokic, Zeke Nnaji, and Vlatko Cancar.
Basically the entire supporting cast is new. – 10:27 AM

More on this storyline
According to Summer League head coach Ryan Bowen, Murray was there on his own accord and wanted to keep playing even for the portion of the practice that was open to the media. Though that didn’t happen, the reviews on Murray’s movements were all positive. His mere presence had a palpable impact on the atmosphere. “It’s huge,” Bowen said. “You got Jamal Murray playing with our Summer League guys. … Everyone wants to watch him play. The guys want to watch him play.” Bowen said Murray participated in non-contact drills Monday that immediately ratcheted up the competitiveness. “It was great to see him out there,” Bowen said. -via Denver Post / July 5, 2022
As for his brother, Jontay’s assessment is that the Nuggets’ forward looks healthy after missing the majority of last season following back surgery. “Mike looks great,” Jontay said and cited his brother as one of the driving forces in getting him back in the gym this past season. -via Denver Post / July 5, 2022
Adam Mares: I’m told Jamal Murray played a bit in live action today at Nuggets summer league practice. -via Twitter @Adam_Mares / July 5, 2022
Harrison Wind: MarJon Beauchamp was Michael Porter Jr.’s high school teammate at Nathan Hale when they won the national championship in 2017. Beauchamp was a freshman at the time. “I’ve never seen a player like that,” Beauchamp said of MPJ. “He’s going to be a star once he gets healthy.” -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / June 20, 2022
Michael Singer: Josh Kroenke on Michael Porter Jr.’s contract:”We’re concerned about his injuries. We’re not concerned about his contract.” My two cents: (They’re connected). -via Twitter @msinger / June 3, 2022

Katy Winge: Michael Porter Jr on the way the Nuggets handled both his and Jamal Murray’s injuries: “The organization is amazing. The way they gave us our space and time and encouraged us and didn’t rush us, it was really dope.” “They didn’t put any type of pressure on us.”
And if Murray were to fall short of his …
And if Murray were to fall short of his past performances, how would that affect him emotionally? What would the impact be on the players – Monté Morris, Hyland, to name two – whose playtime would shrink to make room for Murray, after their play helped the Nuggets get this far? These are the questions the organization is considering, from top to bottom. “We are really taking care of his mental health, for both of them, really,” one Nuggets source told me, echoing the sentiment of the six sources in or around the organization I spoke to last weekend. “Is it fair to the players for them to come back, this late?”
