Murray sprained his right ankle in the 31-121 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. He tried to play through the third-quarter injury but was not on the bench for the entire fourth quarter, during which the Mavericks outscored Denver 29-17 to erase a two-point deficit and hand the Nuggets their fourth straight home loss.

"It's a huge absence, obviously, offensively," Adelman said. "Jamal's such a tough player. If he sits himself because of the pain, it probably hurts. I'm hoping he can come back (for the next game)."

Murray is averaging a career-best 23.3 points, 6.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds through 19 games. He's shooting a career-high 48.3% from the floor and 41.5% from 3-point range.

Denver is 4-4 over its last eight games since a 10-2 start.

Meanwhile, Jokic, who is yet to miss a game this season, was listed ‘probable’ with a left wrist sprain. The three-time MVP has been facing the issues since November. He has appeared on all 20 outings for Denver, averaging 29.0 points, 12.8 rebounds and 11.1 assists.
