On Wednesday night, the Denver Nuggets will host the LA Clippers in Colorado.

For the game, they could be without their best player, as Nikola Jokic is on the injury report.

The three-time MVP also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Via Katy Winge of AltitudeTV: "Nikola Jokić is questionable with an illness for tonight’s Nuggets game against the Clippers.

Aaron Gordon remains out with a right calf strain."
