Murray closed Friday's 127-112 loss to the Nuggets with nine points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes.
Murray got the starting nod due to Scoot Henderson (groin) being out, and he ended two rebounds and one point shy of a double-double in a balanced performance. Murray has started in two games this season, tallying at least eight points in both of those contests. Murray set a new season high in rebounds Friday.
