Breaking News:Nikola Jokic almost ready to proof his physio very wrong as he keeps waxing strong

The Denver Nuggets host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night, and Denver’s two top dogs are each on the injury report. Nikola Jokic is listed as probable, with Jamal Murray as questionable

Jokic has been dealing with left hip and right wrist problems, whereas Murray has right knee inflammation. Jokic’s issues haven’t stopped him from dominating as usual, though, as he’s coming off a 26-point, 18-rebound, 16-assist masterpiece against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. Murray, on the other hand, hasn’t played since March 21 against the New York Knicks. Will the Robin to Jokic’s Batman see the floor against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs?

Jokic has enjoyed another relatively healthy season, as he has missed just three games thus far. With the Serbian international listed as probable, it’s safe to assume that he’ll be ready to go. Murray, on the other hand, is far less of a sure thing. The star point guard is listed as a game-time decision on ESPN’s injury report, suggesting that it could go either way.

Murray has played the least out of Denver’s starters, appearing in just 54 contests thus far. However, he has been his usual impactful self when he has been out there, averaging 20.9 points and 6.7 assists. The Kentucky alum also leads the Nuggets with a 3.2 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Jokic has been his usual MVP-caliber self, nearly averaging a triple-double across 34.5 minutes per game. The all-time great center checks in with 26.1 points, 12.3 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game on an unconscious 57.9 percent shooting clip. Jokic is currently favored to win his third MVP award in a close race with fellow European star Luka Doncic, via USA Today.
