Murray has missed the Nuggets' previous six games due to his hamstring injury. Before his firing, head coach Michael Malone called Murray's injury “a weird one” on Sunday and said Denver hopes to have him back for the playoffs. A doubtful tag for Friday's matchup indicates the star guard still has hurdles to clear and is unlikely to suit up vs. the Grizzlies.

Murray had rebounded from a rough start with an All-Star caliber stretch before his injury. He averaged 24.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists on 51/42/93 shooting splits over his last 33 appearances. However, the Nuggets have been in disarray amid injury struggles and internal dysfunction.

Denver has posted an 11-13 record over its last 24 games, ranking 14th in offense, 23rd in defense and 21st in net rating (-1.7).

Friday's game will be pivotal for playoff seeding. The Nuggets hold the same record as the Los Angeles Clippers (48-32) but sit in fourth place due to a tiebreaker. Both teams are one game ahead of the Golden State Warriors, Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves.

A win would put Denver in a great position to secure the West's fourth seed. The Nuggets will close the season on Sunday against the Houston Rockets, who have little to play for with their playoff seeding solidified.
