Iffy for Monday
Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis
Murray logged 18 minutes in Friday's loss to the Knicks before picking up a sprained left ankle, though he's considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's contest. If the star point guard isn't cleared to play, Jalen Pickett, Tyus Jones and Bruce Brown would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Considered day-to-day
Murray is considered day-to-day due to an ankle injury that he suffered in Friday's loss to the Knicks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Murray was forced to leave in the second quarter of Friday's game after his foot was stepped on by teammate Nikola Jokic. The good news is that Murray appears to avoided a significant injury, but he's expected to be questionable for Monday's road tilt against the Thunder. Bruce Brown, Tyus Jones and Tim Hardaway figure to be the top candidates to enter the Nuggets' starting five if Murray were to miss time.

Exits early Friday
Murray exited Friday's 142-103 loss to the Knicks in the second quarter and did not return due to a sprained left ankle. He closed with 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three assists, one rebound and one block across 18 minutes.
Analysis
Murray stepped on Nikola Jokic's foot and turned his left ankle before being helped to the locker room late in the second quarter. He was considered questionable to return but never checked back in during the blowout loss. The star point guard's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Monday's game in Oklahoma City. If Murray is forced to miss time, Bruce Brown and Tyus Jones would be candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Questionable to return Friday
Murray is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Knicks due to a sprained left ankle, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis
Murray turned his left ankle late in the second quarter and is uncertain to return during the final two quarters. Julian Strawther started the second half in Murray's place, and Bruce Brown may also see increased playing time the rest of the way if Murray is unable to return.

Helped to locker room Friday
Murray exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Friday's game against the Knicks due to an apparent left ankle injury, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.
Analysis
The star point guard limped to the locker room with assistance after stepping on Nikola Jokic's foot and turning his left ankle. If Murray is unable to return, Bruce Brown and Tyus Jones will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.
