WILL BARTON
Available Saturday Morris (undisclosed) is available Saturday against the Heat.
Questionable for restart opener Murray is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Heat due to left hamstring tightness.
Impact It's not exactly clear when Murray suffered the injury, but it may prevent him from playing in the restart opener. Gary Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) have already been ruled out, so if Murray is out as well, more minutes should funnel to Monte Morris, Torrey Craig and Michael Porter.

Won't play in restart opener Barton (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Impact Barton has been nursing right knee soreness, and it's still bothering him enough to prevent him from playing in the seeding game opener. In his stead, with Gary Harris (hip) also out, Torrey Craig should see plenty of action.

Out for restart opener Harris (hip) is out for Saturday's contest against the Heat.
Impact A hip issue has been bothering Harris lately, and it prevented him from playing in the team's final scrimmage. Now, it will prevent him from playing in the restart opener. With Will Barton (knee) also out, Torrey Craig, Troy Daniels and Michael Porter could be in line for extended run.

Limited at practice Barton (knee) remained limited at Thursday's practice session, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact Barton was able to play in the Nuggets' final scrimmage, but it appears he's still nursing some discomfort in his knee. At this point, Barton should be considered day-to-day until further notice. Coach Mike Malone was mostly vague when asked about Barton's status. "He just continues to keep on working on his rehab, getting with our training staff, and trying to integrate him back into the lineup and into the rotation," Malone said.
