Jamal Murray won’t play for Canada at the World Cup. Tough news for Canada, but as I’ve said from the start, can’t imagine it’s too surprising given what he was coming off of (injury then long season). Murray being able to play would have been the way bigger surprise. – 8:41 AM

Canada makes it official that Jamal Murray will miss the World Cup. Still a very strong team, though maybe not a championship one. – 8:15 AM

More on this storyline
Michael Grange: The @CanBball senior men’s team will be without Jamal Murray at the @FIBAWC, per sources. Nuggets star was in training camp and hoping to be able to get up to game speed following layoff after Denver’s run but has decided to sit out. Canada opens tournament vs. France Aug. 25th. -via Twitter @michaelgrange / August 16, 2023
“When I came into training camp, I wanted to see how my body would respond after a long and demanding season and if I would be physically able to compete at the highest level required for the World Cup,” Murray said in a statement. “In consultation with medical staff and the team, it is clear that additional recovery is required, and I have made the difficult decision to not participate in the tournament. It’s still a dream of mine to represent Canada at the Olympics, and I will support the team every step of the way as they pursue this goal.” -via The Athletic / August 16, 2023
A jump shot is a little different, though. I think we have some things cooking real soon that I think will make players like Jamal really happy about what their jump shot looks like. So, I actually responded to him. I said, ‘I know you haven’t seen 2K24 yet, I know you’re talking about 2K23.’ -via The Rookie Wire / August 11, 2023
