The Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs are set to face off on Friday night in another exciting battle between Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs have released their injury report for this game, and Wembanyama is not listed, meaning he is available to play.

Wembanyama missed San Antonio’s last game, which was a blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he is back in the mix for this game. With Jokic listed as probable, fans should get this fun matchup again.

The Nuggets recently picked up a huge win over the Minnesota Timberwolves to regain sole possession of the first seed. While Denver has not clinched the top spot in the Western Conference just yet, they are on the brink of doing so. 

The Spurs have been playing better basketball to close the season than they played for much of the year. This hasn’t always resulted in wins, but San Antonio has been competitive in a lot of games against playoff teams, including their recent matchup against the Nuggets.

With a star like Wembanyama, the Spurs have a chance to win each night. They haven’t done so very often this season, as their rebuild effort still has a long way to go, but Wembanyama’s improvement throughout the season has made them a much tougher opponent as the year has gone on. 

As previously mentioned, Denver still has a lot to play for at this point in the season. The situation is different for San Antonio, as they have an eye for next year, but Denver is still trying to lock up the first seed in the West.
