The Denver Nuggets ruled guard Jamal Murray out for the rest of their game against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, Feb. 25.
Murray was on the team's injury report before the game, dealing with "right hamstring tightness," but he was deemed available to play. And that's not what took him out of the game.
Murray shot just 1-of-3 from the field for two points in 8 minutes of play. He was 0-for-2 from the 3-point line.
