Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray is officially on the mend after suffering a torn ACL earlier this month … and he’s showing off his badass scar from surgery!!
The 24-year-old baller went under the knife last week after going down with the injury against the Warriors on April 12 … and he appears to be in great spirits as he kickstarts the recovery process.
Murray showed off some post-op pics on Tuesday … captioning them with a positive note — “Brand new.”
Of course, the injury happened in the final minutes of Denver’s loss to Golden State … when Murray’s leg buckled after he drove to the basket.
The scene was tough to watch — even for the broadcasters, who were audibly emotional over the injury.
But, Murray will recover and get back to the court … just with a new-look knee next time around.
Sports stars like Odell Beckham and Joe Burrow have showed off their ACL surgery scars in recent months … and it’s safe to say Murray’s is the least gnarly, so that’s a plus for the hooper!!
It’s always bad to see any athlete go down, but it was especially tough to see Murray get hurt — the guy has been tearing up the league over the past 2 years.
