However, it appears that this isn’t going to happen. Mike Malone’s boys are losing pace, and No. 8 seed looks a bit distant from them. Experts were predicting that Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are going to become a wonder duo, which is going to guide the team from Colorado through the challenges of the NBA.

That turned out to be true at some point, but not anymore. Indeed these two young guys had a superb season, but the support from the rest of the players was just too weak. And when we add the fact that Paul Millsap picked up an early-season injury, which removed him from the court for a long time, it is more clear why the team isn’t doing great.

Also, we need to say that Nuggets executives made several bad decisions which hugely affected the current state of the franchize. One of the best rookies this season, and the undisputed leaders of Utah Jazz, Donovan Mitchell, was drafted by the Nuggets, and then traded to Salt Lake City for Trey Lyles and pick No. 24, Tyler Lydon. So at this stage, Malone and his team are not capable of being serious playoff contenders.

“Sadly I won’t be playing in Melbourne this year, as I am not yet ready to compete,” said Murray. “I’ll be flying home shortly to assess all the options but I appreciate all the messages of support and I hope to be back playing soon.”

The British player was very disappointed to miss the Aussie Open because this is one of the tournaments where he didn’t win a title, despite playing in the finals five times. His overall record here is 48-12.

Murray hasn’t competed since the last July. That happened in Wimbledon’s quarterfinals, where he got eliminated to Sam Querrey. Many fans, however, were hoping that the former No.1 is going to be ready for this tournament.

His hip injury is something very problematic and it appears that three-time Grand Slam champion just can’t recover properly. Because of the absence from the court, his ranking dropped significantly, and at the moment, he occupies 16th place in the ATP standings.

Murray said that the extent of the rehabilitation is primary thing. Surgery is also, one of the options, but the chances for recovery after that are not high as he would have wanted, and for now, that remains the second option.
