The Denver Nuggets will take on the LA Clippers tonight at the Ball Arena. The Nuggets secured a win over the Clippers the other day to take a 1-0 lead in round 1 of the playoffs. With the likes of Nikola Jokic in the squad, the Nuggets will enter with an edge tonight as well. Moreover, as Jamal Murray has also returned to the side from the injury, the Nuggets' strength has further intensified. While Murray featured in the game the other day, but is he fit enough to come back to the court in such less recovery time? Let's take a look at the Denver Nuggets injury report to know whether Jamal Murray will play tonight or not.
Jamal Murray Injury Report
Jamal Murray is not listed in the injury report released by the Nuggets ahead of the game against the Clippers. Thus, he will likely play and be in the starting lineup. Murray getting injured at the end of the regular season proved to be costly for the Nuggets, as they suffered inconsistency. However, they had covered enough ground to qualify for the playoffs. Nevertheless, with the return of Jamal Murray the team has become more formidable, and they will enter as the favorites tonight.
Jamal Murray has been averaging 21.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 6 assists per game this season. While these are decent numbers, he can notch much more than these figures, and he has proven that time and again. It will be interesting to note how he will fare tonight.
