    Nikola Jokic’s status for the Mavs-Nuggets game

    Vaseline Posted on

    UPDATE: Nikola Jokic is available (via ESPN’s Shams Charania).

    The Denver Nuggets will host the Dallas Mavericks in Colorado on Friday night.

    For the game, the Nuggets could be without their best player as Nikola Jokic is listed as questionable for personal reasons.

    The two-time MVP has missed each of the previous three games, so this would be his fourth consecutive game out of the lineup (if he doesn’t play).

    Via Mark Followill on Thursday: “Nikola Jokic is questionable for Mavs at Nuggets tomorrow night…was away with his wife and missed the last 3 games while she gave birth to their second child. He wasn’t at practice today and head coach Michael Malone said that wasn’t the case was an update afterward. Aaron Gordon is still out with a calf injury. Vlatko Cancar suffered a significant left knee injury against Memphis on Tuesday and is also out.

    Jokic is averaging 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 11.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 56.3% from the field and 56.4% from three-point range in ten games.

    The Nuggets are 8-5 in their first 13 games, making them the fifth seed in the Western Conference.

    After Dallas, they play their next game on Saturday when they visit LeBron James and the Lakers in Los Angeles.

    As for the Mavs, they are 8-7 in their first 15 games, making them the ninth seed in the Western Conference.

    They have won three games in a row.

    After Denver, the Mavs will visit Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat on Sunday evening in Florida.
