For the third time this season, Murray was held to single-digit points. He's been dealing with knee soreness for most of the season, but he also had some left calf tightness Tuesday, so he popped up on the injury report with a probable tag.

Rotowire

Murray has been battling left knee soreness, but he'll suit up for the closing end of the Nuggets' back-to-back set. After dropping 45 points Tuesday, Murray should be the focal point of Denver's offense Wednesday, as they'll be without Nikola Jokic due to right elbow inflammation.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Scores 17 points Sunday
Rotowire
Murray totaled 17 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 112-101 win over Dallas.
Murray didn't have his best shooting performance, and this was the fifth time he failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last six games. He's averaging 15.2 points per game while shooting 41.4 percent from the floor during that span. A lingering knee injury may be the culprit for Murray's lack of effectiveness in recent games.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Murray (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
Murray, Nikola Jokic (illness) and Aaron Gordon (calf) will all be available after being listed on the injury report, so it's unclear what Russell Westbrook's role will be moving forward. Murray hasn't missed a game since Dec. 23, but he played only 16 minutes during Friday's 124-105 win over Brooklyn. Before that, Murray averaged 20.2 points, 6.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 37.8 minutes over his prior nine appearances.

Rotowire
Murray (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Mavericks.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Misses second half Friday with sore knee
Rotowire
Murray didn't return for the second half of Friday's 124-105 win over the Nets with a sore left knee. He finished with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and one steal in 16 minutes.
Murray was labeled as questionable to return due to the injury shortly after the second quarter concluded, but Denver never provided another update on his status. Julian Strawther opened the second half with the starting group, and he or Aaron Gordon (calf) -- who could return from a nine-game absence -- would likely start Sunday in Dallas if Murray isn't available to play.

Rotowire
Murray (knee) is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Nets.
Murray played 16 minutes in the first half of Friday's game and logged seven points, four assists and one steal.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Fills stat sheet vs. Clippers
Rotowire
Murray had 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 126-103 victory over the Clippers.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Struggles from floor again
Rotowire
Murray closed Saturday's 122-111 overtime win over the Spurs with 13 points (6-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, one block and five steals across 38 minutes.
Murray went 12-for-34 from the floor combined in this back-to-back set against the Spurs, scoring 13 points in each contest. That's clearly a step in the wrong direction, as Murray had reached the 20-point mark in eight of his previous nine outings before this back-to-back set. Even after two subpar shooting performances, Murray has looked on the rise in recent weeks compared to the poor start he endured in the opening weeks of the campaign.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Poor shooting display
Rotowire
Murray recorded 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Friday's 113-110 loss to San Antonio.
Murray has been playing at a high level of late, but he wasn't able to repeat those numbers in this match, mainly due to a woeful shooting performance. Despite the subpar stat line, this was just the second time Murray couldn't reach the 20-point mark over his last 10 games, a span in which he's averaging 22.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.7 steals per contest.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Records double-double
Rotowire
Murray closed Monday's 132-121 victory over Utah with 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes.
The fact that both Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook posted triple-doubles reduced Murray's impact in the game. However, the star floor general extended his impressive stretch of play with his third double-double across his last six outings. During that six-game stretch, Murray has reached the 20-point mark five times while shooting 48.1 percent from the floor and an impressive 41.7 percent from three-point range.
