But eyebrows went up a little higher when Murray didn’t dress for Canada’s game against France and played just seven minutes against Puerto Rico. The word from team sources is that Murray’s brief absence and the slow ramp up to competition as he got acclimated to the nine-hour time difference he was negotiating has all of been baked into the team’s planning. Murray was restricted to eight minutes of playing time against Puerto Rico and used all of that in the first half, which is why he didn’t play after the intermission and will have a heavier load (likely something in the mid-teens) in Canada’s scrimmage against Brazil on Wednesday.
Insiders have said that Murray has been energetic and engaged during training camp and collaborative in all respects regarding playing time and role. He said wearing a Canadian jersey for the first time since the 2015 Pan Am Games was a special moment. “It had been a minute,” Murray said in Las Vegas. “When I was first out there, I felt excited.” Still it remains to be seen exactly how the 2023 NBA champion with a career playoff scoring average of 24.2 points a game fits in on a Canadian team that was firing on all cylinders without him on their way to a World Cup bronze last summer.
ClutchPoints: Which Canadian is most likely to get a tech at the Olympics? 🤣 SGA: “Dillon Brooks.” Jamal Murray: “Dillon Brooks, he can’t wait to get a technical.” Andrew Nembhard: “He’s got a problem.” DB: “Me. I’ve gotten like 4 already in FIBA.” (via @cbcsports)pic.twitter.com/cV2MsCN55z
