Jokic returns to Nuggets in New Orleans after 2-game absence

Nikola Jokic was back in Denver’s starting lineup Tuesday night against New Orleans after missing the Nuggets’ previous two games because of tightness in his left hamstring
JANUARY 25, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Available Tuesday Jokic (hamstring) will play Tuesday against the Pelicans, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Jokic had been trending in the right direction leading up to tipoff, and the team has since confirmed his availability. He figures to see his name in the starting lineup after missing Denver's last two contests due to a left hamstring injury.

Trending toward playing Tuesday Head coach Michael Malone suggested Tuesday that Jokic (hamstring) is "trending toward probable" for the evening's contest versus the Pelicans, Mike Singer of The Denver Post repor...
Impact Jokic seems to be in line for his return from a two-game absence due to right hamstring tightness and will likely resume his usual starring role in the Nuggets' frontcourt. Jokic's return should send Zeke Nnaji back to a bench role and should mean far fewer added minutes are available in Denver's frontcourt for the reserves who have added some extra work over the past two games.

Analysis: Trying to play good NBA defense 'wild, hot mess'

Questionable Tuesday Jokic (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Impact Jokic has missed the last two games due to left hamstring tightness, and it's not yet clear whether he'll suit up against New Orleans. He was on a tear prior to his absence, averaging 24.5 points, 12.8 rebounds and 12.0 assists in 33.0 minutes per game over his last six appearances. If he's sidelined once again, Zeke Nnaji and Jeff Green should continue to see increased run.

Ruled out Sunday Jokic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Jokic continues to deal with a hamstring issue, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Zeke Nnaji, DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green will likely see increased run in the frontcourt once again Sunday, while Jokic's next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against the Pelicans.

Questionable for Sunday Jokic (hamstring) has been termed questionable to don the uniform Sunday versus the Thunder.
Impact Jokic skipped Friday's affair against the Pacers due to hamstring tightness, and it's unclear if the issue will subside enough for the star big man to give it a go. The coaching and medical staff will likely take every precaution with Jokic to ensure his hamstring issue doesn't turn into something that will cost him extended time. Zeke Nnaji would likely receive another starting nod Sunday if Jokic is unable to suit up.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic sidelined by hamstring tightness

Denver big man Nikola Jokic missed the Nuggets’ game against Indiana on Friday night because of tightness in his left hamstring
JANUARY 21, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Out Friday Jokic (hamstring) will not play in Friday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Jokic was a late addition to Friday's injury report with a hamstring issue, and it is severe enough to keep him sidelined. He will now have a few days to recover before Sunday's matchup with the Thunder. In his absence, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan are candidates to see more minutes in the frontcourt.
JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with hamstring tightness Jokic is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to left hamstring tightness.
Impact Jokic was a late addition to the injury report Friday and is now in danger of missing his fifth contest of the season. The MVP candidate has posted three straight triple-doubles and five over his past six appearances, but it appears he's dealing with hamstring tightness following Wednesday's win over Minnesota. Denver will presumably be extremely cautious with its star player, so fantasy managers must monitor Jokic's status closely ahead of Friday's 9:00 PM EST tip.

Goes off with another triple-double Jokic posted 31 points (12-20 FG, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, 13 assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 victory over Minnesota.
Impact Incredibly, Jokic has rattled off six consecutive triple-double performances, and although his competition during the run has been soft, the feat is impressive nonetheless. Jokic's dime-dropping ability is the key to achieving the milestone, and the All-Star has recorded double-digit assist totals in 21 games this season.
