Dejounte Murray's 2018-19 season is likely over before it even got started after the 22-year-old guard suffered a torn ACL in his right knee Sunday in preseason action.

The San Antonio Spurs have yet to release a timetable for Murray's return, but there's a strong likelihood he'll miss the entire campaign.

When his MRI results were released Monday, several of Murray's peers from around the Association took to social media to send him their well-wishes as he begins his road to recovery.

Man I feared that would be the case when I saw the play! F*#% man! Lil bro you’ll be back stronger, quicker, faster and more athletic when you return. Just remain patient and confident throughout this entire process! Minor setback for major comeback. You know how to reach me and where to find me if needed. Love lil bro!! 🙏🏾💪🏾👑
