Denver Nuggets make Jamal Murray injury announcement against Brooklyn Nets

The Denver Nuggets have won five of their last seven games, heading into a matchup against a weaker team, the Brooklyn Nets, on Friday.

The Nuggets have featured superstar center Nikola Jokic this season, averaging 31.5 points, 13.0 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game as he appears to be on his way to his fourth NBA MVP win in five years. .

As impressive as Jokic is, he can’t lead the Nuggets to a 21-15 record on his own, but his supporting cast hasn’t been as impressive as in previous years.

Star point guard Jamal Murray has taken a slight step back this season, but he has still played a huge role in Denver’s success. Averaging 19.4 points and 6.3 assists per game, Murray has continued to advance as Jokic’s second option.

Murray is one of Denver’s biggest X-factors if they want to achieve another title, as they desperately need him healthy and on the court. Unfortunately, Murray suffered another injury on Friday.

The Nuggets have announced that Murray is questionable if he will return against the Nets on Friday due to left knee soreness.

Through 16 minutes of first half action, Murray scored 7 points and 4 assists on 2-5 shooting from the field. Murray has already missed six games this season and 23 last season, so any type of injury for Murray is an automatic concern.

Fortunately, Russell Westbrook’s emergence as a game-changer makes any Murray absence more forgiving, but the Nuggets certainly want their star point guard on the floor as much as possible.
