Jamal Murray
Status uncertain for Friday
Murray is dealing with hamstring irritation, and his status for Friday's game against the Clippers is uncertain, according to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post. "He got some good work in terms of treatment and player development Wednesday. And then we'll see how he feels from his work today. I'd say for Friday night, he's still going to be listed as questionable," head coach Mike Malone told Durando.
