Nikola Jokic pops up on injury report for NBA Cup game against Pelicans

Nikola Jokic’s best feature Not only is it important that he can do almost anything on the field, but also that he can be available. The latter could be the case in the Denver Nugget’s first NBA Cup game against the New Orleans Pelicans soon. Appeared in the injury report.

The Nuggets have been playing good basketball the last week and it’s because Jokic has stepped up his game. Ironically, he’s playing better than he did during his MVP seasons, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he won again if the season ended now.

Good things happen for the Nuggets when Jokic is on the court, and we hope he can be there as they look to win their group stage games.

Nikola Jokic playing against the Pelicans?

Nikola Jokic may be officially questioned for their play against the Pelicans due to personal reasons. There are no signs or rumors as to what these personal reasons are, but the hope is that all will be well. If Jokic cannot play, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. will be available in his absence. and other players like Russell Westbrook will need to step in.

It will take a long time to replace Jokic, who averaged 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 11.7 assists per game this season. After their win against the Dallas Mavericks, Jokic talked about his strong play to start the season.

“Hopefully I can keep playing like that,” Jokic said, via DNVR Nuggets. “The team puts me in the spotlight and I appreciate all the players. It’s not just me putting up good numbers that aren’t great. I have a lot of people behind me.”

With injuries appearing early and the Nuggets not having depth similar to seasons past, Jokic had to step his game up another level, which led to the win. If Jokic continues to play like this, there is no doubt that he will once again enter the MVP conversation and become a head coach. Michael Malone joked about this following one of his dominant performances this season.

“I’m assuming after his performance tonight he’ll probably be 5th in the MVP voting,” Malone said jokingly.

The Nuggets will likely be one of the best teams in the Western Conference this season, and it wouldn’t hurt if Jokic misses a game or two early.
