Won't play in regular-season finale
Murray has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to a right shoulder impingement.
Analysis
Murray will join at least three more of Denver's regular starters on the inactive list for Sunday's regular-season finale, while Nikola Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable. Murray earned his first All-Star nod in the 2025-26 campaign and will finish the regular season with averages of 25.4 points, 7.1 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 35.4 minutes per game across 75 appearances. Tyus Jones and Jalen Pickett will likely see increased playing time in Murray's stead.

Ruled out for Friday
Murray (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder, per Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com.
Analysis
According to head coach David Adelman, the Nuggets have opted to hold out their regular starters for Friday's penultimate regular-season contest. Murray was initially listed as questionable due to a shoulder issue, but he will officially take a seat alongside the rest of the starting five as Denver prioritizes rest ahead of the playoffs. With Murray and the starters sidelined, Bruce Brown, Tyus Jones, and Jalen Pickett are all expected to take on massive workloads against Oklahoma City.

Iffy for Friday
Murray (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis
Along with Nikola Jokic (wrist) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring), Murray is in jeopardy of missing Denver's penultimate regular-season game. If the star point guard is ruled out, Bruce Brown, Jalen Pickett and Tyus Jones would be candidates for increased run.

Goes for 26 points in win
Murray chipped in 26 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 136-119 win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Murray was coming off back-to-back games in which he didn't surpass 20 points, but he bounced back admirably here and was one of Denver's best players in an easy win. Murray might be the No. 2 option on offense behind Nikola Jokic, who had a triple-double Wednesday, but the guard's impact can't be overlooked. Murray has scored at least 20 points in all but one of his last 10 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 27.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists per contest.

Posts 20 points in OT victory
Murray posted 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, seven assists and two blocks over 38 minutes during Monday's 137-132 overtime victory over Portland.
Analysis
Murray adeptly directed the offense and pitched in with 20 points while Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon got the job done inside. The Nuggets trailed the Trail Blazers heading into the final stanza, but the Nuggets stuck to their game plan and chipped away at Portland's lead. Murray's continued health and regular attendance are essential to the team's rhythm on offense, and he's on pace to hit career-high averages in points (25.4), rebounds (4.4), assists (7.2) and field goal percentage (48.3 percent).
