Jamal Murray may be the most exciting Canadian in the NBA, but fans have missed his electric shot-making while he recovered from a torn ACL that kept him on the sidelines for nearly 18 months.

Now, the Kitchener, Ont., native is back and ready to lead the Denver Nuggets — alongside two-time MVP Nikola Jokic — to playoff contention in a wide-open Western Conference.

NBA fans will be able to watch two games featuring Murray and the Nuggets this week on SN NOW.

First up is the season-opener Wednesday, when the Nuggets visit the rebuilding Utah Jazz. The game can be seen on SN NOW, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Then, on Saturday, the Nuggets will host the Oklahoma City Thunder in their home opener, pitting Murray against Canadian national team teammates Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort. Fans can also catch that game on SN NOW beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
