Will Jamal Murray play tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans? Latest update on the Denver Nuggets star's injury report (February 3, 2025)

The Denver Nuggets received a boost ahead of their February 3 matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans as star guard Jamal Murray is not listed on the team's injury report. This confirms that the 26-year-old will be available for the game at Ball Arena, a crucial update for Denver as they continue their push in the Western Conference standings.

Jamal Murray’s impact on the Denver Nuggets’ season

Jamal Murray has been a key piece for Denver this season, averaging 21.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.8 assists over his last 20 games. His ability to facilitate the offense alongside Nikola Jokić has been instrumental in keeping the Denver Nuggets competitive. With Russell Westbrook (hamstring) sidelined, Murray’s presence will be even more vital in maintaining backcourt production.

Denver currently holds a 30-19 record, sitting in a strong position in the West. The team ranks third in the league in scoring (120.5 PPG) and is seventh in rebounds per game (45.4 RPG). Having Murray in the lineup enhances their offensive firepower and defensive intensity, both of which will be critical against a struggling Pelicans squad.

While Jamal Murray’s availability is a positive sign, the Nuggets are still dealing with multiple injuries. Forward DaRon Holmes is out for the season with an Achilles injury, while Vlatko Čančar (knee), Russell Westbrook (hamstring), and Peyton Watson (knee) are also unavailable. Their absence has forced Denver to rely more on its core rotation, including Christian Braun and Michael Porter Jr., to provide additional scoring and defensive versatility.

The Pelicans, holding a 12-37 record, have been plagued by injuries throughout the season. Key players like Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) are ruled out, while Zion Williamson, Daniel Theis, and Jordan Hawkins are listed as day-to-day. New Orleans’ struggles on both ends of the floor have made it difficult for them to find consistency, making Murray’s return a potential game-changer for Denver.
