As the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers prepare for a high-stakes Game 7 showdown, both teams have released their official injury reports — and the updates could significantly impact the outcome of this winner-take-all clash.
For the Nuggets, starting guard Jamal Murray is listed as **questionable** with a lingering hamstring issue that has hampered his mobility throughout the series. Murray, who missed Game 6, remains a game-time decision. Head coach Michael Malone stated, “Jamal is doing everything he can to get ready. It’ll come down to how he feels during warmups.”
In addition, forward Aaron Gordon is listed as **probable** despite a minor ankle sprain sustained late in Game 6. Gordon participated in light practice and is expected to suit up, barring any setbacks.
On the Clippers’ side, star forward Kawhi Leonard is officially listed as **doubtful** due to a sore right knee — the same knee that sidelined him for multiple games earlier this season. Leonard has not played since Game 4 and continues to receive treatment. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue noted, “We’re not ruling him out, but it’s a tough call.”
Meanwhile, guard Norman Powell remains **questionable** with a shoulder strain, and backup center Mason Plumlee is listed as **out** with a sprained elbow.
Both teams are dealing with critical injuries that could reshape rotations and strategies heading into Game 7. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 PM ET, and the atmosphere promises to be electric as one team will punch its ticket to the Western Conference Finals.
