Nuggets reporter Gordon Geoss said that Denver's medical staff did a medical examination for Murray, and he still has a huge mental barrier to recovering from the ACL injury, and he still needs to take it slow, but he has been training with the team for 2-3 weeks.
In other words, Murray is expected to return in this series, even if he has a time limit, his defense of the Warriors will change, with a strong second point Jokic will be much easier, perhaps the turning point of the Nuggets and Warriors series is Murray's comeback.
