Jamal Murray Gets Carried off the Court during the Game against Hornets

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray had to be carried off the court with an apparent ankle injury during the game against Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday in NBA.

Murray was already suffering from a back injury coming into the game. He was listed as questionable for the game but came out to start the game on Wednesday. He now seems to have another injury to worry about.

With around a minute and a half left in the second quarter, Murray suffered the injury. He went to block a three-pointer in the corner and the landing seemed to be the problem. He fell to the ground immediately after the attempted block.
