US EditionKnicks Rout Nuggets as Denver Guard Murray Leaves with a Sprained Ankle
- On Friday, March 6, 2026, All-Star guard Jamal Murray left the Denver Nuggets' game against the New York Knicks just before halftime after injuring his left ankle, with the team listing it as a sprain and designating him questionable to return.
- Murray stumbled after contact from OG Anunoby, stepped on Nikola Jokic's right foot and tumbled clutching his left ankle; Mike Brown's challenge succeeded, Anunoby sank both free throws.
- Before exiting the game, Murray had played 18 minutes and scored 12 points on 5-10 shooting, adding one rebound and three assists; this season, he averages a career-high 25.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 7.3 assists.
- With Murray sidelined for the remainder, the Knicks routed Denver 142-103, and the injury adds to the Nuggets' availability concerns.
- On a night the starters reunited, the Nuggets' original lineup lasted less than a half after Aaron Gordon returned from 17 games and Cam Johnson from a sprained ankle, ending a four-month wait.
