JAMAL MURRAY NEWS

Out Wednesday Murray (knee) will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Murray will skip Denver's final game heading into the All-Star break, which will mark his sixth straight game on the sidelines. However, when discussing Murray during Mike Malone's pregame media availability Wednesday, he downplayed concerns, saying that the Nuggets are "just being smart" and don't want to push their star guard if he's not "confident" playing on a sore knee. Hopefully, with some extended rest going into the All-Star break, Murray will be able to come back for a strong second half. Bruce Brown and Christian Braun will continue to benefit in Murray's absence.

Questionable vs. Mavs Murray (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Murray's absences are starting to become a bit concerning, as he's missed five straight due to right knee soreness. Considering Wednesday is Denver's final game before the All-Star break, it wouldn't be surprising if the point guard is held out to mitigate the risk of re-injury.

Out again Murray (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Heat, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Murray will miss a fifth straight game due to right knee soreness. Bruce Brown is expected to start at point guard again, but Nikola Jokic will continue to shoulder the majority of the playmaking duties. Murray's final chance to suit up before the All-Star break will arrive Monday in Miami, though it'd make sense if Denver held the point guard out again to give him even more time to rest his knee.

Questionable Monday Murray (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup with Miami.

Impact Murray has missed the past four games due to some inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, and it wouldn't be shocking to see Denver decide to hold him out for these final two games going into the All-Star break in order to give him some extra rest. If Murray is out again Monday, Bruce Brown should get another start and there will be more minutes available for Christian Braun.

Out vs. Hornets Murray (knee) is out for Saturday's tilt against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Impact Murray joins Aaron Gordon (ribs) on the shelf, so the shorthanded Nuggets will presumably rely more on Bruce Brown, Ish Smith, Christian Braun and Vlatko Cancar. Saturday marks Murray's fourth straight absence, with his next chance to return arriving Monday in Miami.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. Hornets Murray (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Hornets.

Impact Right knee inflammation has forced Murray to miss the past three games. If available Saturday, he could be on a minutes limit. Prior to his absence, the point guard had scored 22-plus in six straight games, with averages of 29.8 points, 7.2 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 36.5 minutes.

Won't suit up Thursday Head coach Michael Malone ruled out Murray (knee) for Thursday's game versus the Magic, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

Impact Murray will miss his third consecutive contest in what is the first of a three-game road trip Thursday. With Murray unavailable and Bones Hyland shipped to the Clippers, Bruce Brown and Ish Smith should handle most of the minutes at point guard. Murray's next opportunity to retake the floor arrives Saturday in Charlotte.

Deemed questionable Thursday Murray (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Murray is in danger of missing his third straight game but is now listed with right knee inflammation. If he can't suit up Thursday, his next chance will be Saturday's matchup with Charlotte.

Won't play Tuesday Murray (knee) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Brendan Vogt of The DNVR.com reports.

Impact Murray will miss his second straight game after being downgraded from probable to out Tuesday with a left knee injury. Bruce Brown will likely remain in the starting lineup in his absence. Murray's next chance to play is Thursday's matchup with Orlando.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Murray (knee) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Murray was initially listed as probable after missing Sunday's game due to rest, but he may still be dealing with some left knee soreness. If he's out again, Bruce Brown has a strong chance of remaining with the starters.

FEBRUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to return Tuesday Murray (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Murray sat out Sunday against Minnesota due to left knee injury management, but he'll likely be available for Tuesday's rematch. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 32.0 points, 6.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 35.3 minutes per game.

Out Sunday Murray (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Minnesota.

Impact Murray is getting his standard rest day on the second leg of a back-to-back, but he should be back for Tuesday's rematch with the Timberwolves. Expect more run for Christian Braun and Bones Hyland with Murray watching from the sidelines Sunday.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to sit Sunday Murray is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to left knee injury management.

Impact One night after registering a season-high 41 points (15-24 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with seven assists, five rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes, Murray looks like he'll take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set. Even though Murray played both ends of the Nuggets' previous back-to-back set (Jan. 17 and 18), Denver isn't expected to ask the point guard to shoulder big minutes for the second day in a row, especially since the Nuggets are traveling to Minnesota rather than playing at home. With three other starters (Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon) also listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest, the Nuggets offense could primarily run through Michael Porter and sixth man Bruce Brown.

Impact Murray continued his hot run of production in the Nuggets' decimation of the Hawks, reaching 30 points, five assists and five rebounds for the third game in a row while drilling 5.7 three-pointers per contest over that stretch. The 25-year-old has firmly put the ACL tear that sidelined for the 2021-22 season in the rear-view mirror, and given his recent form, the Nuggets have seemed more comfortable loosening the reins on Murray as well. Back on Jan. 17 and 18, Murray played both ends of a back-to-back set for the first time all season, and he looks like he could do the same this weekend. After Saturday's blowout win, the Nuggets will travel to Minnesota for a matchup with the Timberwolves on Sunday.
