Murray wasn't wearing a brace and was full go during Wednesday's practice, but he said after the session that his thumb issue is still on his mind when he's catching or shooting the ball, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray joined the rest of Denver's starters on the sidelines for Sunday's regular-season finale, marking his second absence over three games due to the right thumb issue. The point guard still has a couple more days to rest and rehab before the Nuggets know who their opening-round playoff matchup will be. While it sounds like Murray will give it a go regardless, his current thumb issue is a storyline worth following.

Murray (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
With Murray joining the rest of Denver's regular starters on the sidelines for Sunday's regular-season finale, expect major minutes for Reggie Jackson, Bruce Brown and Christian Braun. Murray won't play in this meaningless game, but he should be fine for the playoffs.

Murray (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
With the No. 1 seed locked up, Denver is listing the majority of its regulars as questionable for the regular-season finale. It's currently unclear who'll be available for the Nuggets, but even if Murray sits, there's been no indication that the issue would prevent him from playing during the postseason.

Murray (thumb) will play in Saturday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Murray will take the floor Saturday, but as coach Michael Malone previously mentioned, he will likely not play the entire game. Considering the unsure nature of his workload, Murray's fantasy value will take a significant hit.

Murray (thumb) is expected to play Saturday at Utah, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Michael Malone expects the full starting five to be available Saturday, as he wants the team to get minutes on the court together to maintain rhythm. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect the starters to play the whole game.

Murray (thumb) is questionable for Saturday against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
The Nuggets have already clinched the top seed in the Western Conference, so we could see the starters get some rest in the final two games of the season. If Murray is held out, we could see plenty of Reggie Jackson after his strong performance against the Suns on Thursday.

Murray (thumb) will miss Thursday's game versus the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Murray departed Tuesday's game versus the Rockets prematurely after suffering a thumb sprain, and he will miss at least one game to rest the issue. With the Nuggets having already claimed the top spot in the West, the staff will likely ensure he's fully healthy before putting him back on the floor, and there are only two more opportunities for him to suit up Saturday versus the Jazz or Sunday against the Kings. Bruce Brown will likely draw the starting nod against the Jazz, though Reggie Jackson figures to be a bigger factor as well.

Murray (thumb) is questionable for Thursday's game in Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was forced out of Tuesday's game after suffering the thumb sprain, and now he's in danger of skipping Thursday's matchup with Phoenix. Nikola Jokic's status is also up in the air due to tightness in his right calf. If both are forced to the sidelines, Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon will be very busy on offense, and there will be more minutes available for Reggie Jackson and Ish Smith.

Murray (thumb) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray played through a probable tag due to his sprained right thumb, but he lasted just nine minutes Tuesday and finished with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and four assists prior to departing. He should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Suns until the Nuggets provide another update on his status.

Murray is questionable to return for Tuesday's game against the Rockets with a sprained right thumb, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was probable on the injury report leading up to Tuesday's game with this same thumb issue and played one rotational stint before returning to the bench and applying ice to the injury. Considering the Nuggets are nearly locked into the top seed in the Western Conference, they could be more inclined to give Murray the remainder of Tuesday's contest off.
