Jamal Murray’s playing status against the Nets
Given his likely status at injury reportthere appears to be a good chance Murray will be able to go Thursday night against Brooklyn. Murray has been in and out of the lineup with various injuries for the Nuggets in recent weeks, but he played in their recent home loss to the Detroit Pistons, missing a key free throw late and a chance to tie the game.
Joining Murray on the injury report are Aaron Gordon, who is out with a right hamstring strain, Christian Brown, who is out with a sprained left ankle, and Cameron Johnson, who is out with a bruise. Meanwhile, Jonas Valanciunas is likely to have a calf strain, while superstar Nikola Jokic will be sidelined with a knee injury.
For the Nets, Terrence Mann is questionable with back pain, while Egor Demin is out with a left plantar fascia injury.
Overall, the Nuggets did an impressive job of holding down the fort in the absence of Jokic, who was sidelined for 15 games after suffering a knee injury against the Miami Heat. However, Denver fans will certainly want to see their team get healthier sooner rather than later.
Thursday’s game will mark the return of Michael Porter Jr. to face his old team after the Nuggets traded him for Johnson last offseason, and he’s sure to get a warm reception from the Ball Arena crowd after helping lead Denver to the 2023 NBA championship.
