Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray, who missed the final six games before the All-Star break due to a knee injury, said he could return to action for Thursday night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he said on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old Murray, who is in his sixth year in the NBA – all as a member of the Nuggets franchise, is averaging 20.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.2 blocks across 45 appearances this season (all starts).
Murray’s last game was back on Feb. 4 in Denver’s 128-108 win over the Atlanta Hawks with the star guard scoring 41 points and adding seven assists.
The Cavaliers own the second-best home record in the Eastern Conference at 25-6, only behind the Milwaukee Bucks.
