Nikola Jokic's Official Injury Status For Suns-Nuggets Game
Nuggets vs Suns Injury Report: Nikola Jokic, Bradley Beal Status Revealed
The Denver Nuggets will be taking on the Phoenix Suns as the two sides look to position themselves for the position. Denver enters this game on a hot streak while the Suns come into this game on the downturn.
Struggling Suns need wins, Nuggets next team in way
With five weeks left in the regular season, the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets are battling for playoff positioning. While Denver is jockeying for the second overall seed in the Western Conference, Phoenix is fighting for its postseason life.
Nikola Jokić is the rare star scorer that might actually prefer to be double-teamed. It's part of what makes the Nuggets star one of the greatest offensive players in NBA history. He doesn't want to score 50 points. He wants to scare you into thinking he might because his legendary passing can take over a game when you send too much help his way.
Jokic set a career-high in assists with 19 as the Nuggets won for the 10th time in their last 11 games with a 125-116 victory over the Pacers. Asked if he still feels the same way about the joy of passing in relation to scoring, he said after the win, “Of course. It’s an easy question.” He was not aware of the new career record, however.

The Nuggets are listing Nikola Jokic as questionable against the Suns due to left ankle inflammation. Jokic was listed on the injury report in Denver's last game against the Kings but suited up anyway, so many can expect him to be good to go for Friday's game but things could change.
