The Nuggets do not want to risk their big star.
Nikola Jokic has problems with both the ankle and the elbow and so he is in the “pits”. Denver Nuggets are quite careful with their Astera, as they do not want to risk getting worse in his condition in the run -up.
The coach of the team, Mike Malone, had stated before playing with the Chicago Bulls that Jokic would return to one of the games his team has at home. The return was not against the “Bulls”, so he is expected to return to one of the matches with the Milwaukee Bucks, Utah Jazz, Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs.
We remind you that in order to be able to claim the MVP award he will have to play in at least 65 games. The Joker has played 62, which means he wants at least three more appearances to claim the prize. It is emphasized that Jokic and Sai Gilzie-Alexander are the two favorites.
