Jamal Murray remains sidelined for the Denver Nuggets due to knee inflammation and is not expected to play in the upcoming game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. are anticipated to participate in the forthcoming game, while Jaden McDaniels has been recognized for his commendable defensive performance in Murray's absence.

Other players on the injury report include Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Coach Michael Malone is optimistic about Murray's return before the playoffs, despite the team feeling his absence in a recent loss to the Phoenix Suns.

The confrontation between the Nuggets and the Cavaliers is pivotal as the victor will secure the top seed in the Western Conference playoff race.
