The Denver Nuggets have been in the NBA bubble for more than 70 days.
Even at 8 title wins, they’ll stay a little longer in Orlando, Florida, after going 3-1 to beat the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7 of the playoff circular moment on Tuesday.
However, the routine has genuine consequences that go beyond the basketball court. Clippers forward Paul George said the same thing when he talked about being mentally in a “dark place” last August.
Nuggets Jamal Murray told The Athletic’s Sam Amick that he felt it too.
“Paul George had said something about depression, about the tension in the bubble, and it’s genuine. [The fight for intellectual health] is a genuine thing, and I can see it,” Murray said. “There’s a time when you think, ‘Dude, sometimes I feel like I’m in a crime,’ but you go back, you play basketball, you do a smart practice, you communicate with your boys, and they’re like brothers to me, so everything is helping and everything works. “
