Jamal Murray illness: Nuggets guard questionable for Game 6 vs. Thunder

The Denver Nuggets are on the brink of elimination from the 2025 NBA playoffs, and one of their stars could be limited or possibly out of their do-or-die game.

Guard Jamal Murray is questionable for Game 6 of the second-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an illness. He was added to the injury report at 3:30 p.m. ET.

It’s unclear what illness Murray is dealing with, but it comes as the Nuggets are down 3-2 in the Western Conference semifinals. Denver hosts top-seeded Oklahoma City Thursday night.

Murray was the second-leading scorer for Denver in the regular season behind Nikola Jokic, and he’s been the Nuggets’ No. 2 scorer in the playoffs with 22.3 points, 5.3 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game. He has averaged 21.4 points per game in the five contests against Oklahoma City, and he’s coming off a 28-point performance in Denver’s 112-105 Game 5 defeat.

This story will be updated when Murray’s status is made clear.
