Jamal Murray says he's lost all interest in All-Star Games

Jamal Murray secured his first All-Star nomination this year and will prepare for Team World in the new format.

However, while thrilled, Murray on Monday accepted that he had lost interest in the All-Star game, while iterating the importance of playing hard in the event.

“I really lost interest in the ASG just watching whatever they were doing out there,” Murray said. “I'd rather go on vacation if that's the basketball we're going to be playing. I'm down to play one-on-one. I would like to play. I know Wembanyama will play.”

Despite his excitement about making his All-Star debut, Murray's presence came into question after he picked up an injury score on Monday night. The concern, however, seems to be a false alarm, with the guard expected to recover in time for the showcase.
