Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Grizzlies Revealed

The Denver Nuggets will have Nikola Jokic available vs. the Memphis Grizzlies

The Denver Nuggets are in Memphis to face the Grizzlies on Friday night, and superstar center Nikola Jokic is available to play. Both teams have revealed their injury reports, and the Nuggets do not have anything surprising listed, which is always good news.

This could be a very exciting game for Jokic, as he enters just one triple-double shy of LeBron James and Jason Kidd for 4th all-time on that list. One of the most complete offensive players the game has ever seen, Jokic will certainly pass both players on that list this season, and will continue climbing up the all-time ranks in a category led by Russell Westbrook.

The Nuggets are off to a good start to their title defense season, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers on opening night to begin the year 1-0. Now facing a Grizzlies team without Ja Morant and other key contributors, the Nuggets will look to avoid a letdown in game two of the season.

The Grizzlies are a competitive group, but there is no denying they are very shorthanded right now. Morant is not eligible to play until he has served his 25-game suspension for his second gun video incident, and both Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke could be done for the season. It has already been confirmed that Adams is out for the year, and Clarke's status for this season is up in the air.

The Nuggets will look to move to 2-0 on Friday night.
