Jamal Murray Questionable For Thursday's Contest

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is officially questionable to play Thursday against the Orlando Magic. Murray missed the past two games due to some inflammation in his knee.

Monte Morris Will Miss Game Against Hornets

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.

Donovan Mitchell Questionable Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) could be forced to sit out Wednesday's game against Detroit, with the team regarding him as questionable for the contest.

Darius Garland Questionable For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (thumb) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Detroit.
