Murray plays through multiple injuries

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers finally put away the stubborn Nuggets on Saturday with a 117-107 Game 5 victory in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, to advance to the NBA Finals. Afterward, Murray looked crushed in his postgame interview.

Murray was hobbled throughout Game 5 and tried to play through his injuries before finishing with 19 points on 7-of-17 shooting with eight assists. It was his lowest scoring total in the five games against the Lakers in the Western Conference finals. "I have a big bruise on my foot," Murray said when asked what was hobbling him. "Just hurt me all game. I changed shoes, and that didn't help. Yeah, I have a bone bruise [as well]. I don't like to tell everybody what I got. I just like to play through it. I was in pain, but it's cool. I was out there. I was struggling a little bit today."

ANALYSIS: Denver could not overcome a third straight 3-1 deficit in the bubble as the Nuggets stint in Orlando finally came to an end. Murray claimed that he was playing through multiple injuries throughout the playoffs and said he was 'struggling' a bit during games.

Murray's injuries do not seem to be much concern at all though, as Denver will look to bring back their core group of guys and make another run at it next year.
