Jamal Murray is a Canadian basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the NBA. The Nuggets drafted Jamal in 2016 after he played one season of college basketball for the Kentucky Wildcats. Murray had an impressive rookie season and has been a consistent performer ever since, but it’s his performance during the 2020 playoffs that has highlighted Murray’s special talent.
Murray inspired two Nuggets comebacks from 3-1 against the Utah Jazz and LA Clippers to set up a tie against Lebron James’ LA Lakers. The Nuggets looked set to spark another unlikely comeback, but an injury to Murray contributed to the Lakers’ win.
Jamal and Harper are still together despite spending time apart due to NBA coronavirus restrictions
Jamal and his girlfriend, Harper Hempel, met during their time at the University of Kentucky. Hempel studied marketing and was a key member of the Kentucky women’s volleyball team. Jamal and Hempel began dating while in Kentucky, and have gone from strength to strength ever since.
The couple have had to endure some time apart during their relationship. After the Denver Nuggets took Jamal during the 2016 Draft, Jamal left Kentucky for Denver, leaving Harper to finish his career. Harper and Denver stayed together despite the distance, reuniting after Harper completed her studies.
Jamal and Harper recently had to spend some time apart after Jamal left to play in the NBA playoffs. The NBA’s coronavirus restrictions meant that Jamal had to stay inside his bubble to avoid possible exposure to the virus. The situation forced Harper to celebrate her 24th birthday without Jamal. However, the pair are expected to reunite after the Nuggets’ loss to the Lakers.
Harper pleaded with the public to remove a sextape purporting to feature Jamal and Harper that was posted on Jamal’s Instagram page.
In March 2020, Jamal made headlines after a video posted to his Instagram account appeared to show Harper giving him oral sex. It’s unclear if the participants in the video were Jamal and Harper, but Jamal moved quickly to have the video removed. He later offered an apology on Twitter, claiming that someone hacked into his account:
“First of all, I would like to apologize to my fans. My account has been hacked, I am currently working on the issue.”
Harper posted a response on Twitter pleading with anyone with the video to remove it. Both Harper and Jamal deleted their Instagram accounts, but later created new ones.
