Malone didn't give an exact timeline for a possible Murray's return but revealed that it's not a 1-2 game injury, and the Canadian guard will be out for the perceivable future.

Murray suffered the injury in Saturday's win against the Chicago Bulls. He has been dealing with hamstring tightness since the beginning of the training camp.

Murray also missed the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 during the summer.

Reggie Jackson took Murray's spot in the starting lineup in a 134-116 win against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Murray has been averaging 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game in 7 appearances for the Nuggets this season.
