The Denver Nuggets are playing against the New Orleans Pelicans, but Nikola Jokic is missing from the game.
Earlier on Friday, it was announced that Jokic wouldn’t play due to personal reasons. This news worried fans, but Katy Winge from Altitude TV shared a positive update. She wrote on X: “Out of respect for Nikolaโs wishes, we arenโt going to say anything more about the personal reasons he is missing tonightโs game. I can confirm that he and his family are fine and there is nothing to be alarmed about!โ
Jokic’s Stellar Performance Continues
Jokic has been playing incredibly well this season, just like in previous years. After leading the Nuggets to their first NBA championship in 2023 and winning MVP titles in 2021, 2022, and 2024, he’s again a top contender for MVP according to Shaun Powell of NBA.com. Powell noted that Jokic could stay at number one if he keeps up his current performance level.
Fans love how Jokic consistently delivers amazing performances!
Powell also highlighted how Jokic averages a triple-double and remains a strong player even when teammates like Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray miss games. Jokic’s ability to lead the team despite challenges shows why he’s such an essential part of the Nuggets’ success.
