The Denver Nuggets will take on the San Antonio Spurs tonight at the Ball Arena. The Nuggets suffered a heartbreaking loss at the hands of the Timberwolves the other day. Despite the loss, one thing remained constant, which was Nikola Jokic's performance. The Serbian scored his career-best 61 points on the day and notched 10 rebounds and assists apiece to complete the triple-double, yet the Timberwolves somehow managed to win by a point. The brilliance is set to continue, should he play tonight. Thus, it is imperative to note his status for the game.
Nikola Jokic Injury Report
Nikola Jokic is listed in the injury report released by the Nuggets ahead of the game against the Spurs. He is listed as "questionable" due to an ankle injury. Thus, there is suspense hanging on whether he will play tonight or not.
Without Jokic, the Nuggets have struggled with inconsistency and the kind of numbers he has been producing reveals why.
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 is always going to be felt.
