Thu Mar 13 03:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Nuggets’ Jokic and Murray Questionable for Crucial Rematch Against Thunder

**OKLAHOMA CITY, OK -** The Denver Nuggets face a potential crisis heading into Monday night’s crucial rematch against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both star players, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, are listed as questionable due to injuries.

Jokic is dealing with a right elbow contusion and left ankle impingement, while Murray is battling left knee inflammation. The injuries come after a disappointing Sunday loss to the Thunder, where the Nuggets were outscored by 21 points in the fourth quarter. Murray, despite scoring 17 points, struggled with his shot (6-17), hinting at the potential impact of his knee issue.

Murray, a key playoff performer who is enjoying a career year with averages of 21.3 points, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals, has already missed seven games this season. His availability is critical for the Nuggets’ chances of winning the highly anticipated rematch.

The absence of both Jokic and Murray would leave the Nuggets severely depleted against a Thunder team that clearly demonstrated their capabilities on Sunday. The game tips off at 8 p.m. EST in Oklahoma City. The Nuggets’ performance will hinge on the health and availability of their two star players.
