The NBA’s punishment for Jamal Murray’s incident in game 2 is that he will NOT be suspended for game 3 and will therefore have to attempt to dribble the ball up the court against Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
Also he was fined $100,000. – 7:46 PM

Did Jamal Murray gesture toward the official with a money sign? 🫣
Two months ago, Rudy Gobert incurred a $100,000 fine for making a gesture resembling that towards the officials.

Jamal Murray came into this series as one of the premier playoff performers in the league, with a 24.7 ppg career postseason scoring average compared to 17.5 ppg in the regular season.
Through the first seven quarters vs. MIN, he has 25 pts on 9-of-29 shooting. – 11:56 PM
