Jamal Murray News: Quiet in return

Murray (hamstring) registered 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven assists and five rebounds across 32 minutes in Friday's 117-109 victory over the Grizzlies.

Murray returned to the court after having missed six straight games due to right hamstring inflammation. Despite initially being as doubtful, Murray took his place in the starting lineup and helped lead Denver to a win to leave the Nuggets in good position to secure the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference playoffs and avoid falling into the Play-In Tournament. Denver will still need to beat the Rockets in Sunday's regular-season finale to clinch the No. 4 seed, so Murray could see his minutes pick up slightly in that contest.
