Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Warriors Revealed

The Denver Nuggets will likely have Jokic vs. the Warriors

The Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets are set to face off on Wednesday night in an exciting Western Conference showdown. The Warriors were the 2022 NBA champions, and the Nuggets are of course the reigning NBA champions, making this a battle of the last two title teams. 

The Nuggets have released their injury report for this game, and Nikola Jokic is again being listed as probable with right wrist inflammation. Jokic was listed as probable with the same injury designation last game, and was able to play, so the likeliest outcome is that he suits up and plays in this one against Golden State. 

Jokic will of course be without his co-star Jamal Murray, as the star point guard is expected to miss multiple games with a right hamstring strain. This should be a very exciting matchup between Golden State and Denver, as both teams have championship hopes this season, and will likely need to go through one another in order to get there.

The battle of the superstars is one to watch in this game, as Steph Curry is playing as good as anybody in basketball, and Nikola Jokic is doing well to follow his historic postseason run with another historic regular season. Jokic and Curry are of course very different players, but both are at the top of the league when it comes to superstar talent. Anytime these two face-off, it makes for a fun game, and this one should be no different.
