Murray sidelined for 2nd straight game because of strained right hamstring

Nov 8, 2023 | 6:09 PM

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Nuggets were without point guard Jamal Murray for a second straight game due to a strained right hamstring.

There remains no timetable for his return, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Wednesday night before a game against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

“I don’t foresee him being back in the next couple of games,” Malone said.

The Warriors were short-handed, too, with Draymond Green out for personal reasons and Gary Payton II sidelined by an illness.

Murray is off to a hot start for the Nuggets this season, averaging 16.3 points and 7.4 points. He helped Denver to its first NBA championship last season by averaging 26.1 points.
