Murray (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Clippers but could return later in the week, Shams Charania reported on FanDuel TV's "Run It Back" program.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will miss an 11th straight game Monday due to a right hamstring strain, but his return to action appears imminent. Charania said the All-Star guard is considered day-to-day at this point, adding that Murray could return as soon as Wednesday's matchup versus Houston. However, the Nuggets will end Week 6 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back set versus the Suns and Kings, respectively, so even if Murray is cleared this week, it's difficult to imagine him playing in more than two games. Murray will presumably be subject to a minute restriction following a lengthy absence, so Reggie Jackson should continue to get plenty of run over the next couple of days.

Murray (hamstring) has been downgraded to out to face the Rockets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was always expected to be sidelined for Friday's contest, so this is not a surprise. Hamstring injuries are extremely tricky, and the Nuggets are taking a cautious approach with one of their best players. Reggie Jackson will remain as the starting point guard, while Murray's next chance to return will come Sunday at home against the Spurs.

Murray (hamstring) will not play Wednesday in Orlando and is considered doubtful for Friday's matchup in Houston, Vic Lombardi of AltitudeTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Murray likely won't return to action during the Nuggets' current five-game road trip despite traveling with the team. However, he could be back in the mix Sunday, when Denver returns home to face San Antonio. Murray hasn't been cleared for full-contact drills yet but has been partaking in pregame workouts.

Coach Michael Malone said Monday that he doesn't think Murray (hamstring) will be ready to play during the Nuggets' current road trip, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is with the team during the five-game road trip, which started Friday in New Orleans, but it looks like the star point guard will remain sidelined for the Nuggets' next three contests. Denver's next home game is Sunday versus San Antonio. Per Winge, Murray has been going through pregame workouts and is progressing well, but the team's medical staff hasn't cleared him for full-contact work yet. In Murray's absence, Reggie Jackson has moved into the starting lineup, but Christian Braun has also made a strong impact off the bench during recent games.

Head coach Michael Malone said Thursday that Murray (hamstring) is getting closer to a return and will join the Nuggets for their five-game road trip, which begins Friday in New Orleans, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports. "I don't know if on this road trip he'll play or not," Malone said, when asked about Murray's status.
EDGE Analysis
Murray suffered a right hamstring strain Nov. 4, and though the Nuggets never put an official timeline on the star point guard's return to the lineup, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported last week that Murray was expected to remain sidelined through the end of the month. Though Malone is leaving the door open for Murray to potentially play during the road trip -- which runs through Nov. 24 -- it's more likely than not that the Nuggets will take a cautious approach and give him the recommend 3-to-4 weeks off for his hamstring to properly heal. At the very least, Malone's comments Thursday would seem to indicate that Murray has made progress on some level in his recovery.

Murray will likely be sidelined for the rest of November due to a right hamstring strain, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Murray will miss an extended period due to a hamstring injury he sustained during Saturday's win over the Bulls. In Murray's absence, Reggie Jackson should be Denver's starting point guard, but the offense will presumably still run through Nikola Jokic. Julian Strawther, Christian Braun and Collin Gillespie are also candidates for increased bench roles until Murray returns.

Murray (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Murray suffered a right hamstring strain during Sunday's matchup against the Bulls and will be forced to miss at least one game. Reggie Jackson started at point guard during the second half of Saturday's game and should see increased run Monday.

Murray (hamstring) won't return to Saturday's game against the Bulls. He'll finish Saturday with two points (1-3 FG) and two rebounds.
EDGE Analysis
Murray had been a candidate to sit Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, and though he ultimately suited up, his night ended after just two quarters due to a tight right hamstring. Reggie Jackson started at point guard to begin the second half and will most likely join the top unit for the Nuggets' next game Monday against the Pelicans if Murray is unable to recover from the hamstring injury in time.
