Nikola Jokic Injury Report

Nikola Jokic is not listed in the injury report released by the Nuggets ahead of Game 7 against the Thunder. Therefore, he will certainly be in the starting lineup. As it is a must-win game for the Nuggets, there are chances that Nikola Jokic will present his best version of the season tonight.

Jokic has been exceptional throughout the season. He has been averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game. A 30-pointer every game and a triple-double, that's beyond brilliant. He is on course to secure the MVP title again, but he will have to get the better of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
