LA JOLLA, Calif. – Even after a nearly 18-month absence, the institutional knowledge between Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray is still there.
Spearheading the first unit as the Nuggets closed Day 2 of training camp with a scrimmage, there was one of the NBA’s most lethal duos picking, popping and operating.
“It was fun,” Jokic said. “Like I said, it feels really natural, it feels easy. I think we’re gonna be back really soon.”
Murray said at media day on Monday that the shared chemistry between the two was so embedded that they rarely, if ever, discussed it.
