Denver Nuggets Suddenly Add Nikola Jokic to Injury Report Before Rockets Game
The three-time MVP is one of six Nuggets listed as questionable, and Denver could be without all five starters from its last game.
- The Denver Nuggets listed center Nikola Jokic as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets with a right elbow sprain, joining all five starters on the injury report following travel delays from Mexico City.
- Following a 114-102 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, extensive aircraft issues forced the Nuggets to return to their hotel early Sunday morning instead of flying that night to Houston.
- Guard Jamal Murray, guard Christian Braun, forward Cameron Johnson, forward Aaron Gordon, and forward DeMar DeRozan also appear as questionable; the team ruled out guard Julian Strawther with a left knee sprain.
- Management canceled Monday's shootaround, citing caution regarding veteran players after the travel strife. Reserve players Marvin Bagley III and Spencer Jones offer available options if starters remain unavailable.
- Scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET Monday, the game against the Rockets in Houston remains on the calendar as the Nuggets continue their season following their 5-3 record through eight games.
