Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray quickly deleted his entire Instagram account earlier on Sunday, following a bizarre series of posts on his Instagram stories.
One of those posts included a sex video that appeared to involve Murray himself in an explicit act.
Jamal Murray’s Instagram hacked?
The 23-year-old Murray has been with the Denver Nuggets four seasons now and has plenty of highlight plays.
However, Sunday morning’s highlight came while the NBA season is on hiatus as a video appeared on Murray’s Instagram Story showing a woman performing oral sex on him.
Following that explicit video, a number of other strange posts popped up on Murray’s account. Ultimately, Murray deleted the account entirely.
Murray would surface on his Twitter to inform fans earlier on Sunday morning that he’d been hacked and was “working on the issue.”
First and foremost I would like to apologize to my fans. My account has been hacked, currently working on the issue. Thanks 🙏🏽

There were a lot of fans who had plenty to say about the video, to the point that Jamal Murray was trending on Twitter.
Fans react to Murray’s IG Story fiasco
Jamal Murray’s Instagram account had over 400,000 followers before he promptly deleted it. On Twitter, he has nearly 100,000 followers, some of whom may have chimed in on his tweet to explain he’d been hacked.
“Nothing to apologize for. You now in my top three shooters in the league after that,” one Twitter wrote in reference to the sex video.
“I feel bad for you bro but you gotta realize to not record s–t like that,” another Twitter commenter said.
In addition to simple text comments, Murray’s tweet also had plenty of images, GIFs, and videos. However, Twitter, in general, has plenty of people tweeting about the Nuggets guard, putting their own spins on the situation.

The entire NBA is on hiatus at the moment with the season suspended due to Rudy Gobert testing positive for coronavirus. Several other NBA players have tested positive since then, including Donovan Mitchell, Christian Wood, Kevin Durant, and the Celtics’ Marcus Smart.
At least one member of the Denver Nuggets tested positive, but it’s unknown who that is. However, many Twitter users don’t believe it’s Murray.
That said, the guard clearly suffered an embarrassing situation during his offtime which got him trending without having to play in an NBA game.
