The knee soreness sounded severe for the Nuggets fans since Murray had been dealing with a torn left ACL for 18 months before returning to action this season.

However, Mike Singer of the Denver Post calmed down the Nuggets.

"I'm told Jamal Murray is 'fine,' per a league source," Singer wrote on his Twitter account after Sunday's game.

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said Murray will be evaluated.

The 26-year-old Canadian averages 20.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists over 53 games in 2022-23.

Despite losing for the third consecutive time, Denver stays at the top of the Western Conference standings with a 46-22 record.
