Definitely a huge bummer, I was really looking forward to watching team Canada as well. On the bright side, this will likely result in SGA getting more possessions as the primary ball handler which could result in some exciting performances from him!
For sure. SGA is that dude, he will have complete control of the reigns to show what he’s got now. It would be hella cool to see Murray next to a strong combo guard like himself though, I feel like their games would be really complimentary. Teams would just be picking their poison between two amazing downhill threats, plus their combined facilitating and Murray’s shooting would spread out defenses so much.
