Nuggets coach Michael Malone: Monte Morris “definitely getting closer” to return

Nuggets coach Michael Malone said injured guard Monte Morris is making “great progress” in his return from a right hamstring strain but is still expected to be out the “next couple of games.”

Morris, who’s missed the last eight games after injuring his hamstring at Houston on April 16, has posted encouraging updates on his social media channels indicating a return could be close.

The last update Morris posted showed a picture of him smiling with the caption: “Mood that I’m cleared in a few!”

The Nuggets are 7-1 since Morris went down – which also coincided with injuries to Jamal Murray (ACL) and Will Barton (hamstring).
