Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Officially out Friday

Murray (injury management) will not play Friday against the Suns.

The Nuggets are essentially punting this game with Nikola Jokic (calf), Michael Porter (heel) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (illness) all being held out. With so many key players out, the Nuggets will need a lot from Bruce Brown. Christian Braun and Ish Smith are likely to be heavily involved as well.
