• Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Out again Monday

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Murray (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors. Murray remains in concussion protocol, so Russell Westbrook should draw another start at point guard. Murray's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus Oklahoma City, but head coach Michael Malone said after Saturday's 129-103 win over the Jazz that it may take 5-to-7 days before Murray is cleared to play, per Katy Winge of Altitude Sports. With that in mind, Murray may be closer to doubtful than questionable for Wednesday's contest.

  Murray has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Timberwolves after being placed in the concussion protocol, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Murray was poked in the eye during the third quarter of Friday's game, and after getting further evaluation, the point guard may now be dealing with a head injury. He recorded six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds and a steal in 22 minutes. Given the multiple hurdles needed to clear the protocol, Murray can be considered unlikely to play Saturday versus Utah. In Murray's absence, Julian Strawther, Christian Braun and Russell Westbrook are candidates for increased playmaking roles out of the backcourt.

• Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Hits for 24 in Tuesday's OT win

  Murray racked up 24 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime victory over the Nets. Despite a minor ankle injury he seemingly picked up Monday against the Raptors, Murray produced a season-high 24 points and saw his usual workload. The veteran point guard is still struggling to find his offense, shooting just 37.3 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from three-point range through four games, but his usage gives him a high fantasy floor even when he's not locked in with his shot.
