The Denver Nuggets are all set to host Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference Playoffs in the best of seven series. All eyes would be on star player Nikola Jokic, whether he starts against Los Angeles Clippers or not.
Will Nikola Jokic play against Los Angeles Clippers?
The three-time Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic has been taken off the team's injury report ahead of the clash against Clippers. The Nuggets have had quite a past couple of weeks as they fired their coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth with just four games left in the regular season.
The Nuggets won their last title in 2022 after defeating Miami Heat 4-1 in the finals. But they failed to reach the Western Conference finals last year after failing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the playoffs.
Denver Nuggets heads into the playoffs this season as the fourth seed behind the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers. Jokic will be leading the charge for the Nuggets. He has had one terrific season as he averages triple-double with 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists.
Jokic finished the season in the top three of all three categories and could be on his way to a fourth MVP award. He won the award back in 2021, 2022 and 2024. The only thing between him and the MVP award is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
The Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets have played 197 games in the regular season with 87 victories for the Clippers and 110 for the Nuggets. This season both the teams have faired up against each other four times. They both have two victories to their name.
