Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon are likely to suit up for the Denver Nuggets when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night. While both Murray and Gordon are listed in the Nuggets' injury report, they are given "probable" status, which means they might play through injury.
Another Denver Nuggets starter, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, is now upgraded to questionable for the said game after missing the past few games due to concussion protocols. Vlatko Cancar, as previously reported, is still recovering from an ACL injury.
What happened to Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon?
