UPDATE: Jamal Murray has been ruled out (h/t Katy Winge of AltitudeTV).

Jamal Murray will not play tonight for Denver.

Malone says he’s getting better but Murray isn’t ready to go out and compete at the level the Nuggets need him to quite yet.

It’s a combination of ankle, shins, and knee bothering him.

On Friday evening, the Denver Nuggets will host the Minnesota Timberwolves in Colorado.

For the game, the Nuggets could be without one of their best players, as starting point guard Jamal Murray is on the injury report.

Murray has missed each of the previous three games, so this would be his fourth straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play).
