Will Jamal Murray play for the Nuggets in Game 7 against the Timberwolves today?
After thrashing the Nuggets in Game 6, the Minnesota Timberwolves are close to clinching victory in the conference semi-final series.
The Denver Nuggets have again listed Jamal Murray as questionable today, as the Coloradans take on the Minnesota Timberwolves with the chance to clinch their place in the Western Conference finals.
What injury does Murray have?
Having picked up a left calf strain in Game 4 of the Nuggets’ first-round victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, Murray has been reported as questionable for every postseason game since then.
However, the point guard has gone on to play each time, and scored 16 points on Tuesday as the defending champions took a 3-2 lead in their conference semi-final against the Timberwolves, thanks to a 112-97 victory in Denver. Murray has averaged 20.2 points in the 2024 NBA Playoffs so far.
Despite losing the first two games of the series against Minnesota, Michael Malone’s men are now one win away from securing a third conference finals appearance in the last five seasons.
Who else is on the Nuggets’ injury report for Game 6?
Slovenian small forward Vlatko Cancar remains a long-term casualty for the Nuggets, having undergone knee surgery in August. Cancar suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while playing for his national team in an exhibition match against Greece.
