Canadian guard Jamal Murray will return to the Denver Nuggets lineup on Saturday afternoon against the Utah Jazz, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Murray has yet to play a game in the NBA bubble since the season’s resumption due to a hamstring issue. His last game action was back on March 11 against the Dallas Mavericks.

The 23-year-old has recorded 18.8 points, 4.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 55 games this season.

The Nuggets (45-24) are currently two games up on the Jazz (43-26) in third place in the Western Conference.
