ESPN Analysts Call for NBA to Suspend Jamal Murray for Dangerous Game 2 Move

Jamal Murray was not happy during the Denver Nuggets' blowout loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. During a contentious second quarter, Murray threw a heat pack on the floor in the middle of action. On Tuesday morning's edition of Get Up, Jay Williams and Tim Legler both agreed that Murray should earn a suspension.

Williams called the move immature and Legler pointed out how bad the injury could have been if Karl-Anthony Towns had stepped on it. Not to mention the fact that one of Murray's own teammates could have slipped on the heat pack and been injured as well, which makes it extra reckless.

To make matters worse, Murray was also caught throwing a towel that landed harmlessly at a referee's feet moments earlier. When you add the two throws together it makes you wonder if he wasn't just throwing stuff on the court, but actually throwing things at the referee. Whatever his intentions were, he was throwing a fit.
