Nuggets Injury Crisis: Jokic, Murray Questionable vs. Pacers
3 Dec
Summary
- Nikola Jokic is probable with a left wrist sprain he's played through.
- Jamal Murray is questionable after spraining his right ankle.
- Several other Nuggets players are out multiple weeks with injuries.
The Denver Nuggets are grappling with a widespread injury concern impacting their roster ahead of Wednesday's home game against the Indiana Pacers. Nikola Jokic, the team's star center, is listed as probable with a left wrist sprain, an ailment he has been managing since mid-November without missing any games. His continued availability is crucial for the Nuggets' performance.
Adding to the team's woes, point guard Jamal Murray is questionable after sustaining a sprained right ankle during a recent loss. While he finished that game, his effectiveness was notably diminished. Other significant players, including Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon, are expected to miss multiple weeks due to ankle and hamstring injuries, respectively, further depleting the team's depth.
The Nuggets, who hold a 14-6 record, are seeking to improve their recent home record, which has seen them lose four consecutive games. Despite these injury setbacks, they are favored against the struggling Indiana Pacers, who are also dealing with their own absences. This matchup is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET at Ball Arena.
