Nikola Jokic Injury Report
Nikola Jokic is listed in the injury report released by the Denver Nuggets ahead of the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The star Center has been marked as "questionable" for the game. Therefore, he may or not feature tonight. However, considering his turn-up rate and the form he is in lately, Jokic is expected to play.
Jokic has remained extremely vital for the Nuggets on all ends and the exceptional statistics - 30.2 points, 13.4 rebounds and 10 assists- support the statement. However, having a trump card in the lineup in the form of the Joker does not guarantee the Nuggets victory. And the challenge intensifies when a heavyweight like the Thunder comes across. Thunder was visibly superior the other day and if the Nuggets have to avenge their loss, then Jokic would have to take the court.
