“They’re going to check on it [on Saturday]. It’s really sore,” coach David Adelman<\/a> said after the game. “You guys all know Jamal. When he sprains his ankle, he usually comes back and plays [quickly].<\/p>\n “This has just been insane. Every time we get somebody back, I feel like that game, somebody else goes out. It has nothing to do with the game; it’s just the way it’s been.”<\/p>\n The injury occurred when OG Anunoby drove into the lane and made contact with Murray, who stepped backward onto the right foot of teammate and fellow All-Star Nikola Jokic.<\/p>\n Murray fell to the floor in pain, clutching his left ankle. With 1:05 remaining before halftime, he was helped to the locker room by teammate Jonas Valanciunas, grimacing as he hobbled off the court. He did not return to the game.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There was no immediate update on the severity of the injury. Murray was initially listed as questionable to return with a left ankle sprain, but ultimately remained sidelined for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n “Jamal got hurt again,” Jokic said post-game. “I don’t know, it’s been the whole season, so hopefully, we can find a way to get healthy and to start playing much better.”<\/p>\n The Canadian guard had 12 points and three assists over 17.5 minutes against New York on Friday.<\/p>\n Murray earned his first All-Star selection this season in his ninth NBA campaign. He is averaging 25.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you for reading us!
