Spurs' Dejounte Murray suffers ACL tear
An MRI confirmed that San Antonio Spurs starting point guard Dejounte Murray has a torn ACL, the team announced Monday.
In a preseason loss to the Houston Rockets, Murray pushed to the basket and planted sharply in the paint against James Harden, and the fast-break led to a cut that was ugly and unpromising. He was able to leave the court on his own strength, although ligament damage was confirmed in his right knee.
The association’s veterans are confident in his ability on the court and his persistnece, assuring that he’ll be back soon.
“Lil bro you’ll be back stronger, quicker, faster and more athletic when you return,” said Lakers forward Lebron James on Instagram. “Just remain patient and confident throughout the entire process … You know how to reach me and where to find me.”
Cleveleand Caveliers guard George Hill took to Instagram as well to air his condolences for the blossoming Spurs guard. “Prayers up to the little bro @dejountemurray,” he posted. “Minor setback but I know for a fact you’ll be back better than before.”
