The chance to accomplish something significant is at hand, especially with Jamal Murray — according to team sources — likely to return from his six-game absence (hamstring injury) on Friday at Memphis.

Because basketball never stops – Jamal Murray is doubtful for tomorrow’s game in Sacramento with right hamstring inflammation. DaRon Holmes II is the only other player on Denver’s injury report.
Malik Monk and Jake LaRavia are out for the Kings. Keegan Murray is questionable. – 8:42 PM

I promised that the word “shocking” would be removed from my vocabulary post Luka, but this one is a stunner.
Denver is 11-13 post All-Star break but has seen Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray miss significant time in March/April.
Their defense has fallen off the cliff.
They – 1:37 PM

In cast you haven’t felt bad enough, Pickaxe and Roll is back and starting now!
On the Pacers loss, Jokic’s plight, Braun’s accountability, and a sketchy Jamal Murray injury update.

More on this storyline
All the while, Malone’s choice to continue supporting Westbrook — despite the frustration he was causing on and off the floor — ultimately led to a loss of credibility among the team’s key players. It was one thing when Malone handled Jokić and Murray with more leniency than the rest of their group, but affording Westbrook that sort of treatment, even with his Hall of Fame resume, wasn’t received well by some. That dynamic intensified recently, starting with Russell Westbrook’s meltdown against Minnesota on April 1 in which his late-game blunders cost Denver the win and spoiled Jokić’s 60-point triple-double. After a brutal Jokić turnover late in a loss to Indiana on Sunday, when he and Westbrook miscommunicated up top and the big man’s pass flew out of bounds, Malone defended his veteran point guard in a way that was seen by some as a shot at the team’s young talents. -via New York Times / April 10, 2025
“Obviously, they won it, so some players—you know—he’s just rubbed them the wrong way because he’s such a hardnosed coach. Not quite as hard on Jokic and Murray, but still coaches them hard—just not quite as hard—and that also rubbed some guys the wrong way. That he’s not as hard on them.” -via YouTube / April 9, 2025
Everything had intensified between Malone and Booth, sources told Yahoo Sports, as Booth made suggestions to Malone about which players should get more opportunities, and Malone not taking those suggestions kindly. Jamal Murray, the Nuggets’ second-best player, might best represent the schism between the two. He hasn’t played since March 26 due to a hamstring injury, and Malone cast doubt on Murray’s availability a few days ago — a death knell to their title hopes if he’s not healthy. -via Yahoo!
