Nuggets guard Jamal Murray is questionable for Thursday’s Game 6 against Oklahoma City due to an illness, per the league’s official injury report (hat tip to DNVR Nuggets).
Murray’s potential absence would be a huge blow to Denver’s chances of evening the second-round series against the Thunder. The Nuggets are on the brink of elimination, facing a 3-2 deficit entering tonight’s pivotal contest in Denver.
After averaging 21.4 points, 6.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals on .474/.393/.886 shooting in 67 regular season appearances (36.1 minutes per game), Murray has averaged 22.3 PPG, 5.3 APG, 4.9 RPG and 1.2 SPG on .447/.378/.880 shooting thus far in the postseason (12 games; 41.8 MPG).
