Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray had surgery on Thursday morning and is expected to fully recover in time for next season's training camp, the team announced.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray has undergone successful surgery to repair core muscle-related injuries, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly announced today.

The surgery was performed by Dr. William Meyers at the Vincera Institute in Philadelphia this morning.

Murray will resume basketball related activities this summer and is expected to be at full-strength when the Nuggets open training camp this fall.

It's not every day that a player has surgery "to repair core muscle-related injuries." This likely has something to do with the fact that Murray reportedly played the entire season dealing with a sports hernia.

Despite the injury, Murray averaged 9.9 points, 2.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 21.5 minutes in his first season as a professional. While he was an inconsistent shooter, he showed encouraging signs as a playmaker and had several standout performances, including a 27-point night and a 30-point night in the final week of the season. 

This news would suggest that Murray will likely miss summer league in July. That could be a bit of a setback, but if he'll be in significantly better condition in his second year, then it'll be more than worth it.
