Jamal Murray Rumors

Kuzma agrees with James’ assessment that the shortened offseason led to the barrage of injuries. “If you look at all the teams that were in the bubble and played long, they had a lot of injuries,” Kuzma said. “Look at Denver with Murray, even looking at the Heat this year how many injuries they had, along with us, too. Having AD out, Bron out, [Kentavious Caldwell-Pope] out a few games, [Alex] Caruso out a few games, a lot of people missed games, and I contribute that to the bubble. “If you think about the injuries from a player’s perspective, it wasn’t enough time for players to get their bodies ready. But at the same time, you gotta go out and compete and take care of your body. I’m definitely not complaining; they pay us a lot of money to go out there and compete.”
