Nikola Jokic Injury Report
Nikola Jokic is listed in the injury report released by the Nuggets ahead of the game against the Bucks. To the dismay of the fans, Jokic has been ruled out for tonight's game due to an ankle injury. This is his 6th game out on the trot. Without Jokic, the Nuggets have struggled with inconsistency. They have lost three of their last five games.
Jokic's influence can be explained through his exceptional numbers. With 29.1 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 10.3 assists, he has been averaging a triple-double every game. That's insane! Thus, the absence of such a player was always going to be felt.
Denver Nuggets Injury Report
Aside from Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr. is also listed in the Denver Nuggets injury list. He is marked as "questionable" due to a lower back strain.
As for the Milwaukee Bucks, they will be missing the services of Giannis Antetokounmpo (Foot) and Damian Lillard (Calf) due to their respective injuries.
The absence of Jokic and Giannis makes it even for both teams. However, the absence of the superstars will take some stream out of the game. Still, a cracker of a game is set to be in the waits. With all to look forward to let's see who comes out on top in this contest.
