Jamal Murray right ankle injury not serious
“All tomorrow is going to be is meet at the plane, fly to L.A. and get ready for the Lakers. He’ll come in. All the other guys will come in and get some kind of treatments, some player development prior to the flight. … If there’s any hesitancy, then he won’t play in L.A. If the ankle’s not right. … The question is never, ‘Can I go play?’ No, can you play effectively? Because if you’re not playing effectively, you’re putting everybody else at a disadvantage. So we’ll see. And if he’s not able to play against the Lakers because of the ankle injury, then we’ll hopefully get him back for Phoenix (next Tuesday).”

Michael Malone says Jamal Murray initially thought he would be able to return tonight, but the ankle didn’t respond as well as hoped. Nuggets are playing it safe. – 12:50 AM

What a quarter for Denver. Nuggets outscore the Heat 27-19 without Jamal Murray. The no-point guard look around Nikola Jokic played great all things considered. – 11:55 PM

Tremendous response from the Nuggets without Jamal Murray for that quarter.
Denver went without a point guard for the final seven minutes of the quarter, and their offense wasn’t perfect, but the defense was incredible.
This feels like a playoff preview. – 11:54 PM

Heat get within two in third, but go into fourth down 83-70 in Denver, even with Jamal Murray out with ankle sprain since second period. Butler, Adebayo 14 apiece for Heat. Porter 30 for Nuggets. – 11:53 PM

Michael Porter Jr.’s picking up the slack with no Jamal Murray: 28 points on the night, 4-8 shooting from 3, has gotten into the lane and finished through contact too. We’re seeing the full offensive package right now. – 11:45 PM

Jamal Murray walked back to the locker room under his own power but with a significant limp. I’d be surprised if he returned. – 11:07 PM

Really hope that isn’t a serious injury for Jamal Murray. Hate to see him go down. Good news is he walked off on his own. – 11:05 PM

This looks like a right ankle sprain for Jamal Murray after landing on Aaron Gordon’s foot. He heads straight to the locker room. – 11:04 PM

Jamal Murray’s hurt under the basket. He just got up and is going back to the locker room. Looked like he landed on Gordon on the assist to Jokic. – 11:03 PM

More on this storyline
Jamal Murray sprained his right ankle during the second quarter of the Nuggets’ win over the Miami Heat on Thursday night at Ball Arena. He didn’t return to the game as Reggie Jackson replaced him at starting point guard in the second half. The Nuggets won 103-97 to advance their win streak to five since the All-Star break. Murray appeared to land awkwardly on teammate Aaron Gordon’s foot under the basket after dishing an assist to Nikola Jokic. Murray initially got to his feet, but then sat back down on the baseline. He walked off the floor under his own power, but with a heavy limp. “I talked to him right at the half, and he thought he was gonna be able to try to maybe give it a go — see how it warmed up,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said, not ruling out Murray’s availability Saturday at the Lakers. “And it just wasn’t responding the way he had hoped, so I think it was a smart decision not to have him out there. Just trying to be as careful as possible at this point of the season.” -via Denver Post / March 1, 2024

Harrison Wind: Nuggets have won five in a row since the All-Star break. Overall, tonight was a great win. Second night of a back-to-back, no Jamal Murray. Denver persevered. -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / March 1, 2024
