BREAKING: Nikola Jokic's Final Injury Status vs Clippers Revealed

The Clippers have no excuse to lose this game.

The LA Clippers have received a massive break tonight against the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic has officially been ruled out against the Clippers due to lower back pain.

Jokic was originally listed as questionable to start the day with back pain after playing last night against the San Antonio Spurs, but he's now been ruled out by the Nuggets. It goes without saying, that the LA Clippers have to absolutely take advantage of this moment.

The Clippers have not defeated the Denver Nuggets for seven straight games, since January 11, 2022. Currently, the Nuggets are missing Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon against the Clippers tonight. LA has every single key rotation player available besides Mason Plumlee.

Tonight's game was originally supposed to be one of the toughest games on the schedule for the Clippers. This game against Denver is the 3rd in 4 nights for LA, and also in the midst of a 5 game in 7 nights stretch. They narrowly lost against the New Orleans Pelicans and dominated the Dallas Mavericks in their first two games. If LA can win this game, it gives them a 2-1 record during this brutal stretch.

There's absolutely no excuse for the Clippers to lose this game against the Denver Nuggets. They're the most rested team, the healthier team, and they should be the hungrier team because of the losing streak against Denver.

The LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets face off tonight at 10:30 p.m. EST.
