BREAKING NEWS: Denver Nuggets Basketball might be lucky enough to bring back name fans never expected to…see more

In a stunning twist that has Nuggets Nation buzzing, multiple sources are reporting that the Denver Nuggets are in advanced talks to bring back former fan favorite and franchise legend, Jamal Murray, in what could be one of the most emotional reunions in recent NBA memory.

THE COMEBACK NOBODY SAW COMING

After being traded to the Toronto Raptors last offseason in a blockbuster move to clear cap space and retool the roster, Jamal Murray now appears poised to return to the Mile High City — just one year later.

Murray, who helped lead the Nuggets to their historic 2023 NBA Championship alongside Nikola Jokić, has reportedly been exploring options as a free agent after a mixed season in Toronto. League insiders say Denver has emerged as a top landing spot, with mutual interest brewing between the two sides.

“He never stopped loving Denver,” said one anonymous league executive. “And the front office knows how much he meant to this team, both on and off the court.”

THE FAN REACTION? ELECTRIC.

As rumors began to circulate on social media, #MurrayReturns began trending across Colorado by midday. Fans flooded the Nuggets’ official accounts with messages begging the team to “bring Jamal home.”

Many believe his return could re-energize the core of Jokić, Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon — and possibly set the stage for another title run.

HOW WOULD IT WORK?

While financial details remain unclear, Murray would likely need to accept a team-friendly deal. But sources close to the negotiations say he’s willing to sacrifice salary for a shot at redemption — and another championship with the team that drafted him in 2016.

The Nuggets front office, led by GM Calvin Booth, has remained tight-lipped, but is believed to be working behind the scenes to finalize terms before the NBA Draft later this month.

WHAT’S NEXT?

• Formal negotiations could be announced within the week.

• The Nuggets may restructure parts of their bench to make room.

• A potential press conference in Denver is already being tentatively planned.

If it happens, this could be one of the most sentimental and high-impact signings of the 2025 NBA offseason.
