Murray (hamstring) ended Friday's 120-98 victory over the Clippers with 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four steals, three assists and one block across 32 minutes.

The only blemish on Murray's line was his six turnovers, which also matched a season high.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Game-time call for Friday
Rotowire
Murray (hamstring) will go through his pre-game routine and will be a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Clippers, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Murray has missed the past two games for Denver due to right hamstring inflammation, and while he went through some portions of Wednesday's practice, a final call will be made closer to the 9 p.m. ET tipoff. Murray should return to the starting lineup if deemed available, but if not, Russell Westbrook would probably remain in the first unit.

Rotowire
Murray (hamstring) was able to go through portions of Wednesday's practice, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
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.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Murray (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
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 on the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Rotowire

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Murray is questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to right hamstring inflammation.
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.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Improving efficiency of late
Rotowire
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.
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 scored at least 18 points in four of his past six games.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Solid line in blowout
Rotowire
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.
Murray stayed on the court for 36 minutes despite the lopsided win. Although he made only 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.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
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.
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 has averaged 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.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Double-double in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Murray amassed 14 points (4-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and three blocks over 39 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to Dallas.
It's the first double-double of the season for Murray. The veteran point guard has also rejected multiple shots in three straight games, and in six contests since returning from a concussion he's averaging 19.3 points, 7.3 assists, 4.5 boards, 3.0 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Fills stat sheet Sunday
Rotowire
Murray closed with 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 loss to the Grizzlies.
Murray should've been the one to carry the Nuggets in the absence of Nikola Jokic (personal), but the former continues to shoot the ball poorly and failed to reach the 20-point mark for the sixth time in nine appearances this season. Murray should continue to experience an uptick in his usage rate with Jokic absent, but that won't matter much if the point guard continues to struggle from the field. Murray is shooting just 39.9 percent from the field and 30.2 percent from deep in his nine outings this season.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Murray produced 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Friday's 101-94 loss to New Orleans.
Murray struggled with his shot and needed 16 field-goal attempts to score 16 points -- certainly not the kind of output the Nuggets were hoping for with Nikola Jokic (personal) sidelined. Murray has been struggling this season, and aside from missing time with a concussion, the star floor general has struggled with efficiency. Through eight outings in 2024-25, Murray is averaging 17.9 points per game but shooting just 39.8 percent from the floor and 31.9 percent from deep.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: To remain out Wednesday
Rotowire
Murray (concussion) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
The Nuggets are being extremely cautious with their star point guard, and since Murray remains in concussion protocol, that means Russell Westbrook should draw another start at point guard. Murray might be a few days away from being cleared, so his status should remain uncertain ahead of Friday's game against the Heat.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Out again Monday
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.
