Jamal Murray’s injury status vs. Bucks

Jamal Murray is officially listed as questionable as he’s dealing with right hamstring inflammation and left hip inflammation. Murray was active for the Nuggets’ win against the Washington Wizards on Thursday, finishing with 24 points, four rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes of play. Since the Bucks game is the second night of a back-to-back, that could be the reason why Murray’s status is in question.

Murray has played six consecutive games now after sitting out a few games at the beginning of the month due to an ankle injury. Despite that, he’s been making a strong case for his first All-Star selection. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Murray has had seasons where he’s put up All-Star caliber numbers, he just hasn’t been selected yet.

He’s appeared in 41 of the Nuggets’ 45 games so far this season, at a little over 35 minutes per game. He’s been averaging a career-high 26.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.0 steals with splits of 49 percent shooting from the field, 44.8 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 89.2 percent shooting from the free-throw line.
