KUNC-TV (Denver) | Jamal Murray surprises Colorado students at unified basketball game
Nuggets star Jamal Murray took to the hardwood Tuesday not as a player but as a coach. He surprised students at North Middle School for a unified basketball game against Aurora Hills Middle School. Unified sports is a collaborative approach to create opportunities for students with and without disabilities to participate in school sports. "It's a lot of fun, obviously, anytime I get to play basketball and put smiles on kids' faces," Murray told CBS News Colorado's Kelly Werthmann…. Aurora Public Schools won big, though, when UCHealth donated $5,000 to support all unified sports in the district. Murray kept the surprises coming when he matched the donation himself. APS said the generous donation will be used to purchase equipment for all unified sports.
