Nobody thought much of Jamal Murray getting a well-deserved night off on Friday after a long road trip for the Nuggets. The team got thumped by the Hawks, but most assumed that with the extra rest, Jamal would be good to go on Sunday. But he was downgraded to questionable and ultimately ruled out before tip-off at home against hte Bucks.
But fear not, apparently, Murray is just battling an illness that has been making its way through the Nuggets’ locker room. So, while it’s frustrating to go another game without Murray, it’s comforting to know that he’s not dealing with anything major and that his ankle is no real concern at this point.
