Star Player Receives Last Minute Injury Update for Nuggets vs. Thunder
The Denver Nuggets are taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night, and superstar center Nikola Jokic is available to play. While Jokic was never listed on the injury report, his star teammate Michael Porter Jr. was listed as questionable, and was a game-time decision per head coach Michael Malone.
The Nuggets have since updated their injury report, and Porter has been upgraded to available, and will start for the Nuggets alongside Jokic. This is the second night of a back to back for Denver, but Jokic is not a player who typically rests one half of a back to back set, and is officially good to go for this game, per Denver's injury report.
Jokic had a historic triple double on Thursday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing with 26 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists, on a perfect 100% from the field. Continuing to reach new heights, Jokic has been unstoppable this season, the same way he has been for a while now.
This game between OKC and Denver is a big one, as just one game currently separates them in the Western Conference standings. With Jokic available, the star matchup between himself and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should be a good one. With tiebreaker scenarios and seeding on the line, this is a big game between two of the NBA's best teams.
