Jamal Murray Injury Status

Jamal Murray's Status in Jeopardy for Game 5

Nuggets Point Guard Questionable with Ankle Injury

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray is officially listed as questionable for Game 5 of their playoff series against the Lakers on Monday night. Murray has been out since he injured his ankle during the final minutes of Denver's victory over the New York Knicks on March 21.

Impact on Game 5

Murray's absence would be a major blow to the Nuggets. He is their leading scorer and playmaker. If he is unable to play, the Nuggets will need other players to step up in his place. One potential option is Monte Morris, who has started in Murray's place in the past. Another option is Will Barton, who has been playing well off the bench.

Nuggets Hoping for Murray's Return

The Nuggets are hoping that Murray will be able to return for Game 5. They know that they will need him if they want to beat the Lakers and advance to the second round of the playoffs. Murray has been practicing with the team and is reportedly making progress in his recovery. However, it is still unclear if he will be healthy enough to play on Monday night.

Updates to Come

The Nuggets will provide an update on Murray's status later today. Stay tuned for the latest news on this developing story.
