MINNEAPOLIS — Running into a Rudy Gobert screen can feel like colliding with a brick wall. For Jamal Murray, the result was a lot of pain and a lot of bricks.
Murray attributed his 4-for-18 Game 6 performance to a right elbow injury that he sustained on a screen two possessions into the loss Thursday night at Target Center. The Nuggets trailed by as many as 50 in a 115-70 defeat, their worst playoff loss in franchise history by point margin.
Murray never exited the game due to the injury, but he was shaken up immediately, flexing his right arm on the court during live play to test how the elbow felt.
