Denver point guard Jamal Murray was a new addition to the Nuggets' injury report on Sunday.
Denver listed Murray as questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers with a calf strain. Murray appeared to sustain the injury in the Lakers' Game 4 victory on Saturday that extended the series to Game 5.
The severity of the injury is unclear. But the news is concerning for a Nuggets team facing pressure to close the Lakers out. Denver took a 3-0 series en route to 11 straight wins against the Lakers and faced a chance to end the series on Saturday. But the Lakers beat the Nuggets, 119-108 on Saturday for their first win over Denver since 2022 to keep the series alive. The series shifts back to Denver on Monday.
