With Jamal Murray sidelined because of a concussion, Russell Westbrook rose to the occasion, tallying a season-best 29 points and averaging 18.3 points along with 6.3 assists in the starting position. The Denver Nuggets secured a narrow win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, triumphing 124-122 and improving their record to 5-3.

Fans Weigh In on Murray’s Possible Return Against Miami

As the Nuggets get ready to play the 3-4 Miami Heat, reports suggest Jamal Murray might return on Friday, marked as questionable. Although his comeback thrills fans, many hope he doesn’t hurry back. Several supporters turned to social media, with one commenting, “Take care, man; we’ll need you in the fourth quarter of Game 6 this June.” Others expressed similar feelings, with one stating, “Bench him for another game.”

Westbrook and Young Players Shine in His Absence

Westbrook’s impressive performances, along with the encouraging displays from rookies such as Christian Braun, Peyton Watson, and Julian Strawther, have contributed to covering Murray’s absence. Their efforts have maintained the Nuggets’ competitiveness, giving Murray the opportunity to fully heal.

Looking Forward with Caution

Murray’s track record of injuries, notably sitting out the 2021-22 season, has fans rightly feeling apprehensive. With the Nuggets targeting a lengthy playoff journey, supporters prioritize Murray’s well-being over a swift comeback, particularly since the season is still early and Denver appears robust amid the obstacles.
