The Denver Nuggets are hoping to make second championship run this postseason on the heels of another immaculate year from three-time MVP Nikola Jokic. However, as they enter the final week of the regular season, the status of one of their other stars is suddenly up in the air.
Speaking to reporters ahead of Sunday's clash against the Indiana Pacers, head coach Michael Malone discussed the injury status of All-Star point guard Jamal Murray, who hasn't played since March 26 while battling what the team has called right hamstring inflammation. Malone told assembled media that Murray is hurt enough that he "literally just is not able to play at the moment," stating the Nuggets aren't just being careful with the star scorer.
