On their upcoming home matchup on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Nuggets marked the star guard as unavailable due to a left ankle sprain and illness.

This marks the second consecutive absence of Murray for Denver. He missed the team's previous 110-87 defeat against the Atlanta Hawks.

Murray will be joined by Christian Braun (ankle) on the sidelines, while Aaron Gordon and Spencer Jones will be playing.

With his absence, Jalen Pickett and Bruce Brown are positioned to earn more minutes against the Bucks.

This season, Murray is averaging a career-high 25.3 points and 7.5 assists in 35 games, helping the Nuggets tally a 25-13 record as one of the best teams in the West.
