The Denver Nuggets are facing the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night, and star center Nikola Jokic is being listed as probable with left hip inflammation and right wrist inflammation. Jokic has been on the injury report with these injury designations for multiple games, which suggests it’s something he has been playing through.
Having been very durable for Denver this season, and throughout his entire career, Jokic rarely misses games. The probable listing suggests that he will be good to go for this game, but his status will be something to watch, as his name is on the injury report.
The Nuggets remain in a tightly contested battle for the first seed, as both the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves also remain in pursuit of that top spot. Entering play on Tuesday, Denver sits a half-game behind Oklahoma City for first place, and a half-game above the third-place Timberwolves. This should be an exciting game between the Nuggets and the Spurs, because while San Antonio is at the bottom of the conference, they have star rookie Victor Wembanyama who is always exciting to see.
Every game is important for Denver as they look to optimize their seeding, as neither OKC or Minnesota have been giving them any breathing room. The Spurs will be a tough test for Denver despite their poor record.
