Sat Apr 05 02:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Nuggets Face Warriors Shorthanded as Murray’s Hamstring Injury Keeps Him Out
**San Francisco, CA** – The Denver Nuggets will be without star guard Jamal Murray when they take on the Golden State Warriors tonight at 10:00 p.m. EST in a crucial Western Conference matchup. Murray, who has been nursing a right hamstring injury, will miss his fourth consecutive game.
The Nuggets, currently holding onto the third seed by a mere half-game over the Los Angeles Lakers, enter the game with a shaky 4-6 record over their last ten contests. While resting starters in a recent loss to the San Antonio Spurs was intended to ensure full health against Golden State, Murray’s absence leaves a significant hole in Denver’s lineup.
In 65 games this season, Murray averaged 21.6 points and 6.0 assists, boosting those numbers to 23.3 points and 5.9 assists since the All-Star break, while shooting an impressive 44.7% from three-point range. His absence puts even greater pressure on two-time MVP Nikola Jokic to carry the offensive load against a Warriors team whose own lineup status remains uncertain. The outcome of this game will have major implications for playoff seeding in the fiercely competitive Western Conference.
