Jamal Murray is set to be sidelined for an extended period due to a right hamstring strain, as confirmed by coach Michael Malone. Murray had been dealing with hamstring tightness since training camp, and the injury was exacerbated during Saturday’s game against the Bulls.

Malone indicated that the strain is not a minor injury, suggesting that Murray will be out for more than one or two games. In Murray’s absence, Reggie Jackson took his place in the starting lineup.
