Murray missed the entire 2021-22 NBA season with a torn ACL, but he did make his return in their first game of the season on Wednesday evening. 

It makes sense why they would want to be cautious after being out for so long. 

The Nuggets are currently 0-1 after losing to the Utah Jazz by a score of 123-102. 

Last season, they were the sixth seed in the Western Conference and lost to the Warriors in the first round in five games. 

Meanwhile, the Warriors come into the game 1-0 after beating the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 123-109 on Tuesday night. 

They are coming off winning their fourth NBA Championship in the last eight seasons after beating the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals back in June.

The Warriors will more than likely be a contender to make the 2023 NBA Finals.
