A tough loss for the Nuggets was made worse by a knee injury late in the fourth quarter to star guard Jamal Murray. Murray was driving to the basket before his knee appeared to buckle underneath him. The team will now await results of an MRI.
Michael Malone said the team is waiting on imaging testing on Jamal Murray's left knee: "He just came back, he was gone for four days. His [right] knee had been bothering him…just an awful feeling. Keep Jamal in your thoughts and prayers and hopefully we will get some good news"
