New footage shows Jamal Murray throwing multiple items on the court during the Denver Nuggets’ rough 106-80 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 on Monday.
Initially, it was only Murray throwing a heat pack that attracted attention. But new vision shows the struggling Nuggets star throwing a towel right before he threw the heat pack.

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch was highly critical of Murray after the game, labelling his behaviour “inexcusable and dangerous”.
It remains to be seen whether the NBA will hand down any form of punishment.

Hampered by a calf injury and terrorized by Minnesota’s swarming defense, Murray finished Game 2 with eight points on 3-18 field goal shooting.
After the game, he left the arena without speaking to the media.
Having lost the first two games of the series at home, the Nuggets must win four of the next five games to save the series.
