Jamal Murray Out for Nuggets with Ankle Injury
Jamal Murray is dealing with an ankle injury and will not take the court for the Denver Nuggets. The team announced that he is out due to this issue. This news comes as the Nuggets prepare for their upcoming games without their starting point guard.
What It Means
Murray’s absence is a blow to the Nuggets as he plays a key role on the team. This season, he has averaged 19.1 points per game, along with 4.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists. His shooting percentage from the field stands at 43%, while his three-point shooting is at 34.6%. These numbers highlight his importance in both scoring and playmaking.
With Murray out, Russell Westbrook may see increased minutes as he steps up in the point guard position. Westbrook currently averages 12 points per game in about 25.9 minutes of playtime. The team will rely on him and others to fill the gap left by Murray’s injury until he can return to action.
