Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray is dealing with plantar fasciitis, he said Friday night. Murray, 27, returned from an injury that was officially designated as right hamstring inflammation to score 20 points in Denver’s win over the Clippers. He had missed the last two games and was a partial participant in the team’s practice on Wednesday. The hamstring pain was not his only injury, though, he revealed after also amassing four steals. “I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel going into the game,” Murray said when asked about his hamstring. “I didn’t know how many minutes I was going to play. I just kind of went out there and said, ‘I’m gonna give it what I’ve got.’ Fresh legs. Had energy. Feel good now. Some plantar fasciitis. Everybody’s going through something. But I’m good, man. Excited to be back.” Murray is averaging 17.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game this season. He’s having his least efficient season so far since he was a rookie, shooting 42.5% from the field and 33.7% from the 3-point line. But in the last nine games that he’s played, the numbers have gradually improved. He’s 37.3% from three in that stretch.
