Jamal Murray Probable for Nuggets with Ankle Injury
Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets is dealing with a right ankle sprain. Despite this, he is expected to play in their upcoming game. The injury has been persistent, but his status has improved from out to probable over recent days.
What It Means
Murray’s return is important for the Nuggets as he is a key player on their team. This season, he averages 19.2 points per game and leads the team in minutes played at 36.6 per game. His ability to score and assist makes him vital for the team’s success.
If Murray cannot play or needs rest, Russell Westbrook would likely step in as the starting point guard. Westbrook averages 12.1 points per game and plays about 26 minutes each night. While not as high-scoring as Murray, Westbrook provides experience and can help manage the game effectively.
