Malone said it is not the plan for Murray to rest on one end of back-to-backs for the entire season, as the Warriors did with Klay Thompson last season as he returned from ACL and Achilles injuries. Malone hopes that Murray’s workload will progressively build throughout the year, specifically naming Christmas, the New Year and All-Star break as times of the season for jumps. “This is a work in progress and it’s going to require patience on everybody’s part,” Malone said. “I talked to Jamal about that. There will be tough nights for him, but he is our guy. I have his back.” -via ESPN / October 22, 2022
