Nuggets defend their title in crisis! Murray has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and is likely to miss the rest of the month

On November 9, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. Earlier today, Nuggets star Jamal Murray suffered a right hamstring strain and will miss the rest of the month, according to renowned journalist Woj.

Murray played just nine minutes in the Nuggets' Nov. 5 win over the Bulls before exiting the game due to leg discomfort. Murray was uncomfortable on the offensive end and limped back into the locker room and didn't play the rest of the game.

In that game, Murray had two points and two rebounds on 1-of-3 shooting. So far this season, Murray has averaged 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.7 blocks in 30.9 minutes per game while shooting 43.3 percent from the field, 43.8 percent from three-point range and 84.2 percent from the free throw line.

Commenting on Murray's injury, Nuggets coach Malone said: "We don't expect Murray to return anytime soon. Jokic is going to play a lot more roles, and it's really cool that he can give power to his teammates, and I think Jokic has done a great job of delegating power to his teammates around him. ”

For the Nuggets, Murray's absence is undoubtedly a huge loss. Murray played a very important role in the title race last season. He averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game in the regular season, and a whopping 26.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists in the playoffs, and finally helped the Nuggets win the championship.

The Nuggets currently have a 7-1 record and are temporarily in first place in the West. According to the schedule, the Nuggets' opponents this month include home games against the Warriors, home games against the Clippers, and matchups against Western teams such as the Spurs, Rockets, and Pelicans. What can the Nuggets achieve without Murray? Let's wait and see.
