UPDATE: Jamal Murray has been ruled out.
On Wednesday evening, the Denver Nuggets will host the Phoenix Suns in Colorado.
For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as NBA Champion point guard Jamal Murray is on the injury report.
Murray has missed each of the previous two games, so this would be his third straight out of the starting lineup (if he doesn’t play).
Via Underdog NBA: “Jamal Murray (knee) listed questionable for Wednesday.”
Murray is in the middle of another productive season with averages of 20.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 47.5% from the field and 41.9% from the three-point range in 54 games.
The Nuggets are among the best teams in the league with a 51-21 record in 72 games, which has them as the first seed in the Western Conference.
They have gone 9-1 over their last ten games and are also in the middle of a four-game winning streak.
Most recently, the Nuggets defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (at home) by a score of 128-103.
Following their matchup with the Suns, they will play their next game on Friday evening when they host Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
