Jamal Murray’s injury status against the Bucks

Jamal Murray is officially listed as questionable as he deals with right hamstring strain and left hip strain. Murray was active for the Nuggets’ win against the Washington Wizards on Thursday, finishing with 24 points, four rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes of action. With the Bucks game being the second night of back-to-back games, that could be why Murray’s status is in question.

Murray has now played six straight games after missing several games earlier in the month with an ankle injury. Despite that, he was making a strong case for his first All-Star selection. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Murray has had seasons where he’s put up All-Star-caliber numbers, but he still hasn’t been drafted.

He has appeared in 41 of the Nuggets’ 45 games so far this season, logging just over 35 minutes per game. He averaged career-highs of 26.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 49 percent from the field, 44.8 percent from the 3-point line and 89.2 percent from the free throw line.

When it comes to whether Jamal Murray plays tonight against the Wizards, the answer is that it will likely be a game-time decision.
