A frustrated Jamal Murray bizarrely threw a heat pack onto the court during Timberwolves-Nuggets

As the Denver Nuggets struggled against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference’s second round, Jamal Murray got a bit frustrated on the bench.

Rather than just use his words, Murray picked up a heat pack and threw it onto the court during game action. Yes, really, he threw a heat pack onto the court, and he didn’t get fouled for it. We’re not making this up.

The TNT broadcast crew sounded just as confused as you’d expect, as an NBA player throwing something on the court in protest during live game play is just pretty dangerous and completely avoidable.

Why did Murray do this? We honestly don’t know, and we’re sure the NBA will talk with him about this after the game. This could’ve gone poorly if a player had tripped on it and gotten injured.

We get that Denver was not in a great spot, but c’mon, this is just silly for Murray to do in an NBA playoff game.
