After an incredibly disappointing loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves last night, the Denver Nuggets have less than 24 hours to figure it out and prepare for tonight’s Utah Jazz.

One of the biggest stories from last night’s loss was the fact that Nuggets guard Jamal Murray suffered a head injury that put him in the NBA’s concussion protocol. Murray never returned to the game after suffering the injury and the Nuggets ultimately blew a crucial lead in the fourth quarter against the Timberwolves.

Unfortunately for the Nuggets, the team will also have to be without Murray tonight. Murray is officially listed as out against the Utah Jazz due to being in the NBA’s concussion protocol.

In five games this season, Jamal Murray is averaging 16.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.2 steals on 37/30/91 shooting from the field. Almost all of his averages are the lowest since his rookie year, but it’s still too early to judge whether Murray has slipped. Murray only played 22 minutes against the Timberwolves before getting injured, where he scored 6 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds on 28.6% shooting from the field.

Surprisingly, the Denver Nuggets are 2-3 after five games and desperately need a win against the Utah Jazz tonight. The two teams face off tonight at 10:00 pm EST.
