Reason for Nikola Jokic’s Long Absence from Nuggets Explained

Reason for Nikola Jokic’s Long Absence from Nuggets Explained

Nikola Jokic could not play in the last three games of the Denver Nuggets due to “personal reasons”.

After days of anticipation, Jokic finally returned to the Denver Nuggets tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. This was a much-needed moment for the team, which frequently lost matches in his absence.

The mysterious reason why Jokic missed games was also revealed tonight; his wife gave birth to a newborn son. Luckily for those worried that Jokic might be sick or going through a family crisis, that wasn’t the case.

Jokic has been an absolute monster for the Denver Nuggets this season; he somehow found a way to be better than he was in last year’s MVP campaign. In 10 games this season, Jokic averaged 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 11.7 assists on 56/56/84 shooting. His numbers have been absolutely unreal, and it’s nearly impossible for the Nuggets to find a way to replicate his performance on the court.

After missing three games so far, Jokic picked up where he left off for the Denver Nuggets against the Dallas Mavericks. Jokic played with 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on 67/100/100 shooting in 12 minutes. The Denver Nuggets will always follow Nikola Jokic wherever he takes him, and luckily for Denver, he’s the best player in the NBA.
