Murray Records Double-Double, Could See Increased Role After Jokić Injury

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray tallied 20 points (9-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 11 assists, six rebounds, and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 147-123 loss to the Heat. Murray finished as the Nuggets' leader in assists and second in points behind Nikola Jokić, who exited due to a knee injury. This was Murray's eighth double-double of the season, with three coming in his last four outings. If Jokić misses time, Murray is expected to take on a larger responsibility in running Denver's offense.
