Is Jamal Murray playing tonight? Latest injury update for Heat at Nuggets Nov 8

On By Littum

The Denver Nuggets are coming off their best win of the season, a 124-122 victory over the Thunder. Denver was without Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon, which made the dub that much more impressive.

The Nuggets are on a three-game winning streak and hope to add to that number on Friday against the Heat. Miami is 3-4 on the season and enters the matchup on a two-game losing streak. The Heat lost, 115-112, to the Suns on Wednesday. Tyler Herro led Miami with 28 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field and 5-of-9 from three. Haywood Highsmith dropped 29 off the bench.

Even though the Heat are a year away from playing the Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals, that loss should still sting. Denver cannot approach the game lightly. It helps that Jamal Murray is listed as questionable. He suffered a concussion in the third quarter of last Friday’s loss to Minnesota. He hasn’t played since.

Russell Westbrook scored a season-high 29 points (10-of-15 shooting) in Murray’s place in the starting lineup on Wednesday. The former MVP has had his ups and downs to start the season, but Murray has also had his ups and downs. Hopefully Murray will be able to play and prove his doubters wrong.

Jamal Murray (concussion) is listed as questionable.

UPDATE: Jamal Murray is available.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. (stomach disease) is listed as doubtful. He missed Miami’s last two games.
