ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — This isn’t just Jamal Murray casting aside questions about his health and downplaying his recent injuries. In fact, as if he had a definitive display of athleticism for the media planned to perfection, he pounced at the rim Friday for a contested slam dunk — moments after the doors had been opened allowing a throng of reporters to watch the last 30 minutes of Denver’s practice. Point taken. “I feel good,” a curt Murray said during the team’s media day at Ball Arena, rejecting any notion that he was dealing with lingering injuries as training camp began. One week later, and on the opposite side of the globe, his emphatic dunk supplied some meaningful evidence.

The 2024-25 NHL season began this past weekend with a couple of games in Prague, but league play begins in earnest in the coming days. It should be a fascinating season.

A Nuggets reporter asked Jokic if he had been on a camel. “I have never been on a horse, to be honest,” Jokic said.

Hughes, the Rockies’ first-round pick in 2022, returned to the mound in instructional league a little over a month ago after missing all of the 2024 minor-league season. While he was recovering from surgery, Hughes dove into a heady, philosophic reading list that included “The Myth of Sisyphus” by Albert Camus, “Existentialism Is a Humanism” by Jean-Paul Sartre and “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius.
