Jamal Murray is on the injury report for Game 5.
On Monday evening, the Denver Nuggets will host the Los Angeles Lakers in Colorado for Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.
For the game, the Nuggets could be without one of their best players, as 2023 NBA Champion point guard Jamal Murray is on the injury report.
Via Underdog NBA: “Jamal Murray (calf) listed questionable for Monday.”
Murray is coming off another impressive regular season where he averaged 21.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 48.1% from the field and 42.5% from the three-point range in 59 games.
The Nuggets are the second seed in the Western Conference and had a 57-25 record.

They currently have a 3-1 lead in the series, so the Lakers are on the verge of elimination.
