Denver Nuggets' Jamal Murray Calf Injury Worsens, Status for Playoff Return Uncertain
Malone Expresses Optimism, But Injury Raises Concerns
Update: Murray Listed as Questionable for Game 5
Jamal Murray's calf injury has worsened, casting doubt on his availability for the Denver Nuggets' crucial playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers. The injury, initially sustained in Game 4 of the series, escalated after a specific movement during the game.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone remains optimistic about Murray's return before the playoffs, stating, "Anybody can go out there." However, the severity of the injury and its impact on Murray's performance are still unknown.
Murray enjoyed an impressive regular season, averaging 21.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 48.1% from the field. His absence would be a significant blow to the Nuggets, who are aiming to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
Currently, Murray is officially listed as questionable for Game 5 of the series. However, some sources speculate that this designation could be a precautionary measure. The Nuggets are determined to overcome this adversity and will rely on the rest of their roster to step up in Murray's absence.
