Murray (ankle) managed 20 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 127-99 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Murray took to the court after missing 10 straight games with an ankle injury. The playing time was down; however, this was likely due to both the injury management factor as well as the Nuggets' large margin of victory. The Nuggets executed a massive four-team trade after the contest concluded, though the acquisitions made are highly unlikely to impact Murray's role moving forward. The Nuggets will complete a back-to-back set Wednesday in Utah, so assuming Murray came out of Tuesday's contest no worse for the wear, he's expected to suit up against the Jazz and perhaps take on a more sizable minutes load.
