While the NBA has been postponed temporarily due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray made headlines Sunday after a racy video was posted on his Instagram story. Murray claims his account was hacked and proceeded to apologize to his 450,000 followers for an explicit video that allegedly showed Murray receiving oral sex from an unidentified woman.

His girlfriend Harper Hempel was clearly concerned about the video on Sunday when she tweeted, “If you have the video please delete it,” according to the New York Post.
