Jamal Murray goes into concussion protocol after collision in Denver Nuggets game

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray was placed in the concussion protocol after a collision with Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle during Friday night’s game at Barclays Center. It happened in the third quarter.

Murray cut through the lane with Anthony Edwards guarding him when Randle backed up to chase Aaron Gordon and inadvertently slammed his shoulder into Murray’s nose.

Murray’s head snapped back into Edwards from the impact and he doubled over in pain as play continued, before later during a timeout he had four balls out and went to the dressing room for further examination.

The Nuggets ruled him out for the rest of the game a few minutes later.

Murray had six points on 2-for-7 shooting and three assists in 22 minutes.
