After a very disappointing loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night, the Denver Nuggets get a rematch against them tonight. On Sunday night, the Nuggets did not have the services of Nikola Jokic against Memphis.

Jokic has missed the last two games for the Nuggets due to personal reasons. It still hasn’t been revealed what those personal reasons were, but Katy Winge previously said it’s nothing Nuggets fans should worry about.

The Denver Nuggets have officially listed Nikola Jokic as out against the Memphis Grizzlies due to personal reasons. Without Jokic on the court Sunday night, the Grizzlies blew out the Nuggets. Memphis will have their fair share of injuries with both Zach Edey and Ja Morant missing, but it appears their team is much deeper than Denver’s. Tonight marks the third game in a row in which Jokic is absent for personal reasons.

Through ten games this season, Jokic is averaging 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 11.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks on 56/56/84 shooting from the field. His numbers are even better than last season, when he won MVP. If voters weren’t tired, Jokic could very easily be the early favorite for the MVP again this season.

The Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies face off tonight at 8:00 PM EST.
