The Denver Nuggets have released concerning injury updates ahead of Wednesday’s home clash against the Indiana Pacers. Seven players are on the report, headlined by stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
Jokic is probable due to a left wrist sprain. The three-time MVP has been dealing with the issue since Nov. 15. Jokic has been listed as questionable multiple times but hasn’t missed a game. He’s appeared on all 20 outings for Denver, averaging 29.0 points, 12.8 rebounds and 11.1 assists.
Thanks for the submission!
Meanwhile, Murray sprained his right ankle in Monday’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks. While he returned to finish that contest, the point guard wasn’t at his best. Murray managed only 10 points on 37.5% shooting in 26 minutes. For the season, he has played 19 of 20 games, averaging 23.3 ppg, 4.5 rpg and 6.7 apg. Murray is questionable to play on Wednesday.
