“Jamal is our tight end player. When he’s not there, it’s a little more random…” Last night, the Nuggets lost in the final seconds in Minnesota, and as Aaron Gordon points out, Jamal Murray was not on the ground. He was not on the bench either, since the Nuggets leader was in the hands of doctors to follow the “concussion protocol”.
While he wasn't necessarily having a great night, Murray was sandwiched between Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle, and he failed to regain his senses after taking a big shoulder hit to the face. We had to wait for a timeout before Murray could come out and return to the locker room.

The Nuggets back-to-back
“I don’t know how they could have missed that.” regretted Mike Maloneregarding the absence of stoppage of play by the referees. “He was going to set a screen when he was involuntarily pushed by his defender. It was just several individuals moving at high speed, and I think he was hit in the head. I don't know if it's by Julius, Aaron or someone else. But it was clearly a big shock, and health always comes first.”
As Murray is in “concussion protocol”, his participation in Saturday night's match against the Jazz is very uncertain. “We need to make sure he’s okay. If he's not able to play, obviously we hope he comes back as soon as possible. But I don't want to speculate because I don't have more details. »
