Murray averaged 25.4 points while shooting 43.5% from three, cementing himself as one of the NBA's best shooters and point guards.

Why it matters

Murray's historic three-point shooting season is a significant accomplishment that places him among the all-time great shooters in NBA history. His elite efficiency and high-volume three-point shooting have helped drive the Nuggets' success as one of the league's best three-point shooting teams this season.

The details

Murray had far and away the best season of his nine-year NBA career, taking his game to the next level in the regular season after being known as a playoff riser. He joined Steph Curry, Ray Allen, and Duncan Robinson as the only players in league history to shoot 43% or better on 7.5 or more three-point attempts per game (min. 50 games). Murray also became the second player ever to do so while averaging 25 or more points per game, joining only Curry.

• Murray averaged 25.4 points and shot 43.5% from three-point range during the 2025-26 NBA season.

What’s next

Murray will look to carry his historic regular season shooting performance into the playoffs as the Nuggets head into their first-round matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. With an improved supporting cast and Murray playing the best basketball of his career, the Nuggets have high hopes for a deep playoff run.
