DENVER (KDVR) — The Denver Nuggets could be without star guard Jamal Murray on Thursday night, after he was added to the injury report hours before Game 6 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
FOX31 Sports Director Dave Althouse attended a press conference where interim head coach David Adelman said Murray is "definitely sick." Althouse reports that there is no official status on Murray's participation.
If the Nuggets don't win the game, the Thunder will advance to the Western Conference Finals, and the Nuggets will begin their offseason.
Colorado Avalanche legend announced as head coach of the Vancouver CanucksMurray was added to the injury report as "Day-to-Day" with an illness that is making an appearance against the Thunder questionable. It is still possible that he makes an appearance at Ball Arena.
Murray is averaging 22.3 points and 5.3 assists in this postseason and is the Nuggets' second-highest scorer. He scored 28 points in Game 5 of the series, going 10-27 from the floor.
Murray joins teammates Hunter Tyson, who is out with an ankle injury, and DaRon Holmes II with an Achilles injury, on the report.
The Nuggets have been running a short rotation in the playoffs, often only going with seven players in a game. Murray missing would likely mean that Russell Westbrook steps into the starting lineup.
If Murray does suit up for the Nuggets in Game 6, he will have to play through his illness. Could this be the Jamal Murray version of the flu game?
