Denver Nuggets: Jamal Murray’s NBA playoff supply remains uncertain; this is what Michael Malone said when he returns
As Murray’s availability at the start of the NBA playoffs remains uncertain, the Nuggets continue to suffer losses in his absence. Yahoo Sports reported that the team lost for the fourth straight Sunday without having Murray join the roster.
Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers
The Pacers won a 125-120 victory in a close match on Sunday. Even if the Nuggets play at home – the dance arena in Denver, Colorado.
Before the game, Malone ruled out his detailed health before tipping for a hamstring injury in the fifth straight win.
Murray is said to be facing problems such as inflammation and tightness.

In each game, Murray was listed as suspicious by his side and was later excluded on match day itself.
Nikola Jokić played a major game in the absence of Murray, who scored 41 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists to the Indiana Pacers.
Another major highlight of the day was Christian Braun, who played one of his best games, with a total of 30 points, accompanied by eight rebounds and four assists.
However, the Nuggets failed to impress late in the game because Murray’s absence team missed several opportunities.
Sunday’s losses against the Pacers have now reduced the Denver Nuggets to 47-32, while it is fourth in the West.
Michael Malone on Jamal Murray
Malone, who was fired Tuesday as head coach of the Denver Nuggets, talked to media about Murray’s health before Sunday’s game.
He said Murray was “harmful” and it was not to be careful because there was a “big difference” between the two.
“Beware that one person can play, you want to be smart. We’re not doing that,” the Denver Post quoted Malone as saying.
Asked about Murray’s expected return before the playoffs, Malone said: “I hope he can come back then.”
But, he added quickly enough, it was a “weird” rather than a “daily” thing happening.
The Denver Nuggets now have three matchups before starting the playoffs.
