Jamal Murray - Questionable for Sunday Murray is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring tightness.

Impact Murray was questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, but he finished with 25 points (6-12 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 25 minutes. The questionable tag for this contest suggests a decision on Murray will be made closer to Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Murray is averaging 24.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game since the beginning of February.

Shaedon Sharpe - Remains out Sunday Sharpe (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact Sharpe hasn't played since Feb. 6, when he logged 14 minutes in a win over the Grizzlies, and the team will hold him out for a sixth consecutive contest Sunday. His next chance to suit up will come against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, but given the cautious approach the Trail Blazers are employing, it wouldn't be surprising if he stays out longer for even more time. With Sharpe out, Vit Krejci and Caleb Love should continue to see more minutes in the backcourt.

Impact Avdija has been dealing with a lingering back injury since mid-January and could be held out of Sunday's contest. If he's ultimately ruled out, Sidy Cissoko and Kris Murray would be candidates for increased playing time. Avdija has appeared in just three outings this month, during which he has averaged 17.3 points, 8.0 assists and 7.7 rebounds in 28.0 minutes per tilt.
