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

Denver Nuggets will take on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight at the Ball Arena. The Nuggets have started the post-Malone era on a positive note.

Nikola Jokic Injury Report

Nikola Jokic is not listed in the injury report released by the Nuggets ahead of the game against the Grizzlies. Thus, he is expected to be in the starting lineup. Jokic, a three-time MVP, is competing for the title again with only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of Oklahoma City Thunder in the reckoning other than him.

Nikola Jokic's numbers highlight how much of the onus he carries onto his shoulders for the Nuggets. He is averaging just below 30 points, 29.8 to be precise, 12.8 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game. A triple-double every game is beyond extraordinary. He could deliver similar or even better figures tonight.
