Will the Nuggets’ Jamal Murray play in Game 5 against the Timberwolves today?

Point guard Jamal Murray is again reported as questionable for the Denver Nuggets today, as the defending champions take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the teams’ Western Conference semi-final series.

Murray has been dealing with a left calf strain since Game 4 of the Nuggets’ first-round victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, with Denver repeatedly listing him as questionable on the NBA’s official injury report. However, the 27-year-old has played in every game since picking up the issue, and scored 19 points on Sunday as the Nuggets levelled their series with the Timberwolves at 2-2, thanks to a 115-107 triumph in Minneapolis. Murray has averaged 20.7 points in the postseason so far.

Who else is on the Nuggets’ injury report for Game 5?

Vlatko Cancar remains a long-term absentee for Denver, having undergone knee surgery last August. The small forward tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while playing for Slovenia in an exhibition match against Greece.
