Impact Murray has missed the past two games for Denver due to right hamstring inflammation. Coach Michael Malone said Murray is still limited in what he can do, and noted that the guard will likely be listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers. If Murray is unable to return, Russell Westbrook could draw another start with Jalen Pickett and Julian Strawther possibly seeing an uptick in minutes.

Not playing Saturday Murray (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Impact Murray was absent from Saturday's shootaround, so his absence isn't entirely surprising, as the star guard is dealing with right hamstring inflammation. Russell Westbrook will likely get the start in the backcourt alongside Christian Braun, and Murray's next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Sunday in the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Absent from shootaround Murray (hamstring) wasn't spotted at morning shootaround ahead of Saturday's game against the Wizards, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Murray remains questionable for Saturday's clash, though it would've been a positive sign to see him testing out his hamstring during team shootaround. The team will continue to monitor the point guard closely leading up to tipoff.

Questionable for Saturday Murray is questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to right hamstring inflammation.
Impact Murray surpassed the 40-minute mark in the loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday, marking just the second time he achieved that this season, but it's unclear if the inflammation is directly tied to the workload he's had of late. Regardless, the questionable tag suggests he could have a decent shot at playing Saturday in what figures to be a favorable matchup on paper. Murray is averaging 18.2 points, 7.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game over his last five outings.

Jokic scores 38 points and helps Nuggets mount a late comeback to beat Warriors 119-115
Nikola Jokic had 38 points, 10 rebounds and five steals to rally the Denver Nuggets to a 119-115 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday nightDECEMBER 4 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Improving efficiency of late Murray contributed 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Murray's final stat line wasn't eye-popping by any means, but the star guard is trending in the right direction following a slow start to the 2024-25 campaign. The lack of efficiency has been one of the biggest knocks on his numbers this season, but he's shot 17-for-30 in his last two games, which marks a clear improvement over the recent weeks. Murray has also scored at least 18 points in four of his last six games.

Solid line in blowout Murray finished with 22 points (10-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 win over the Jazz.
Impact Murray stayed on the court for 36 minutes despite the lopsided win. Although he only made one shot in six attempts beyond the arc, he made several plays in transition and offset the loss with a good mid-range result. Murray is on a decent five-game run, averaging 19.4 points, 7.4 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals over the span.

Comes close to double-double Murray racked up 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 145-118 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Even though the Nuggets looked outmatched, Murray had a decent stat line in this blowout loss. Despite being outplayed by Jalen Brunson, who finished with 17 assists, Murray finished just three dimes away from a double-double and also reached the 20-point mark just for the fifth time in 2024-25. The overall season numbers are disappointing, though. Murray is averaging just 17.3 points per game since the beginning of November, a clear downgrade from the previous three campaigns in which he averaged more than 20 points per contest.
