Jamal Murray likely out vs. Cavaliers
Speaking before the game, Denver coach Michael Malone said Murray was improving but “he’s just not ready to go out there and compete at the level that we need him to.” Malone hinted that Murray might also miss the Nuggets’ Sunday matinee against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but said he wasn’t worried that his star point guard would be out for much longer. “I do think he will be back on the court before the playoffs start” in mid-April, Malone said.

Jamal Murray went through a pregame shooting workout again tonight. Again, he looked pretty good, but Michael Malone said pregame that he’s not yet cleared to play. It sounds like Murray will miss Sunday’s game vs. Cleveland but will return before the playoffs start. – 8:40 PM

Alright Nuggets fans, it’s time for Game 73 of the season vs the Phoenix Suns. No Jamal Murray, but Aaron Gordon is back. As is Devin Booker.

Here’s what I’m watching for tonight vs. Suns:
– This feels like a game the Nuggets will get up for
Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. are expected to play tonight. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon are listed as questionable, but I think they play. It’s one of Denver’s final… – 7:08 PM
