Nikola Jokic's Status for Nuggets vs. Clippers Revealed
In This Story:
With neither team making the In-Season Tournament quarterfinals, the Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers were given another game against each other. That added game will be played on Wednesday night in Los Angeles, and Nikola Jokic will be available for it.
Jokic did not play when the Nuggets were last in LA to face the Clippers, nor did Jamal Murray or Aaron Gordon, but Denver still took care of business behind dominant performances from Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan. While Denver was very impressive in that game, they are certainly happy to have Jokic back in the mix for this one.
Jokic has been a Clippers killer throughout his career, but he has reached a level the last few seasons where the opponent simply does not matter - he is going to dominate no matter what. This has especially been the case in Murray's injury absence, as Jokic has been asked to shoulder an even bigger load offensively, which he has done with what seems to be little added effort.
The Nuggets have been a very tough opponent for the Clippers the last few seasons, and will look to continue their dominance over them in this one. While Denver is still awaiting a final status for Murray, they have already made Jokic available, as he is not listed on the official injury report for this game.
