And if you\u2019re not 100 percent and you know you want to be out there still, you\u2019re gonna try to fight through it like Jamal is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I know he wasn\u2019t 100 percent. I know getting him back there is a big step toward seeing the Jamal who was throwing up triple-doubles in the NBA Finals.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Canada star Jamal Murray had a dreadful 2024 Olympics <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/72x72\/1f62c.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude2c\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6 points per game <br \/>3 rebounds per game<br \/>3.8 assists per game <br \/>2.3 turnovers per game <br \/>20.5 minutes per game <\/p>\n<p>9-of-31 FG (29%)<br \/>2-of-14 3PT (14.3%) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JTDeb2u5U0\">pic.twitter.com\/JTDeb2u5U0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClutchPoints\/status\/1820947984580014327?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Murray was struggling with a calf injury at the beginning of 2024 and the Denver star was forced to miss out on numerous games with the knock, which Kroenke believes he is still recovering from.<\/p>\n<p>Kroenke continued: \u201cFor me in particular, as much as I would love to focus in on the end of the season or the playoffs or the Olympics, I usually think even kind of one step higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe amount of games that he\u2019s played \u2014 the amount of games that all of our guys have played \u2014 and the wear and tear on their bodies.
