Nuggets guard Jamal Murray is questionable for Thursday’s Game 6 against Oklahoma City due to an illness, per the league’s official injury report (hat tip to DNVR Nuggets).
Murray’s potential absence would be a huge blow to Denver’s chances of evening the second-round series against the Thunder. The Nuggets are on the brink of elimination, facing a 3-2 deficit entering tonight’s pivotal contest in Denver.
After averaging 21.4 points, 6.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals on .474/.393/.886 shooting in 67 regular season appearances (36.1 minutes per game), Murray has averaged 22.3 PPG, 5.3 APG, 4.9 RPG and 1.2 SPG on .447/.378/.880 shooting thus far in the postseason (12 games; 41.8 MPG).
Murray, 28, has ranked second on the team in points and assists per game in both the regular season and the playoffs, only trailing perennial MVP finalist Nikola Jokic. A dynamic shot-maker who is known for his strong pick-and-roll chemistry with Jokic, Murray played a critical role in helping Denver win its first championship two years ago.
If Murray is unable to suit up on Thursday, Russell Westbrook, Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther and Jalen Pickett are among the Nuggets who could receive more playing time.
I thought RFK was supposed to fix this??
Yup .., overnight. Bam, fixed.
Overnight… 4 years…don’t matter. RFK ain’t fixing anything except his bank account.
