Nuggets rule out Nikola Jokic for Saturday
Denver Nuggets forward/center Nikola Jokic (left wrist sprain) will not play against the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
Jokic is still battling a sore wrist, so it should give a nice bump to both Kenneth Faried and Jusuf Nurkic against the Jazz. Jokic was starting to play really well, so hopefully once he can return he picks up where he left off.
Overall Jokic is having a down year, but in the two games prior to getting hurt, he posted averages of 15.0 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists with a .641 true shooting percentage, so hopefully he is pulling out of his sophomore slump.
