Nikola Jokic Injury Report: Will the Nuggets' Star Center Play Tonight Against the Clippers?

The Denver Nuggets will take on the LA Clippers tonight in game 6 of the round 1 playoff series. The Nuggets will enter the Intuit Dome arena with a 3-2 lead tonight and could walk as the winners of the tie. Having secured a victory in the last two games, the Nuggets will have the momentum to ride on but since the Clippers are on the verge of elimination, they will leave no stone unturned to come up with the goods in the game of survival. 

Nikola Jokic is the man who will be the biggest threat to the Clippers and could end their road tonight. He is a scoring machine and since he had a quiet game 5 as per his standards, he can return with huge figures tonight. And in case it happens, it will be goodbye Clippers. Nevertheless, Luka Doncic will not be able to have any say in the game if he is not deemed fit to play tonight. So, to know whether the big Serbian Center is playing tonight or not, let's take a look at the Denver Nuggets injury report.
