Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Magic Revealed

The Denver Nuggets will have Jokic vs. Orlando

The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night, and they will be getting Nikola Jokic back after the superstar center was ejected midway through their last game against the Detroit Pistons. Both Jokic and Nuggets head coach Michael Malone were ejected in that game, but the rest of the team was able to pull out a tough win vs. the Pistons. 

It was a much needed win for the Nuggets, especially considering they had lost two straight games prior to that one, and did not want to make it a third straight loss. Now facing off against a Magic team that has been very solid to start the season, Denver will again have their work cut out for them. 

The Magic are currently tied for fourth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 9-5. Winners of their last four games, Orlando is certainly not a team that can be overlooked anymore. The Nuggets know this, and will look to come with the right focus in this game. Currently just a half game back of the Minnesota Timberwolves for the top spot in the Western Conference, the Nuggets have been very solid this season, even despite not being quite as sharp of late. 

It’s understandably been a tough go for Denver without Jamal Murray, but Jokic has again been at the very top of the league this season. With him back in the mix on Wednesday, Denver is looking for another win.
