"Murray took contact from a driving OG Anunoby in the lane and stepped back on teammate and fellow All-Star Nikola Jokic's right foot. Murray fell to the floor in pain, grabbing his left ankle. He was helped to the locker room by teammate Jonas Valanciunas, grimacing as he hobbled off the court with 1:05 left."
"Murray was an All-Star this season for the first time in his nine-year career. He got hurt on the night the Nuggets had their original starting lineup on the court for the first time since Nov. 12 as Aaron Gordon (hamstring) returned from a long absence and Cam Johnson came back from a sprained right ankle."
