Denver Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray will miss Friday night's game against the host Phoenix Suns due to an ankle injury.

Murray injured his right ankle during the Nuggets' 134-124 home victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. That contest was his first after missing 11 straight due to a hamstring injury.

Denver is 7-1 with Murray in the lineup and 6-5 without. He is averaging 16.3 points and 7.3 assists this season.

Forward Aaron Gordon (heel) will miss his fourth straight game for Denver. He is averaging 13.1 points and 7.2 rebounds in 16 games this season.

Earlier Friday, Suns star guard Devin Booker was ruled out of the contest. Booker injured his right ankle during the Suns' 112-105 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.

Booker is averaging 27.3 points and 8.5 assists in 10 games this season.
