😮💨 Jokic didn’t like what he was seeing from the Nuggets as he couldn’t help his team due to injury!

Disheartening loss for the Nuggets in LA, but not entirely unexpected without Jokic and Murray.
Aaron Gordon continues to excel as a scorer, but it’s going to take more than that to survive anymore games without being fully healthy.

With Jokic and Murray available, I understand giving Aaron Gordon some additional airspace, even acknowledging how good he’s been from deep this season. Gotta pick the poisons. But with those two out, Gordon becomes a primary scorer. Can’t keep sagging off him this much. AK – 11:39 PM

Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray out again.
Michael Malone: “If Nikola is not playing, it’s not because he’s sitting. It’s not because he needs rest. It’s because he’s hurt and he’s trying to play through things that most wouldn’t.” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 9:24 PM

The Nuggets went into Golden State who was on a 7 game winning streak and beat them 114-105.
Denver was without Jamal Murray, Christian Braun and Nikola Jokic due to rest.
That’s the type of win that energizes a team! pic.x.com/piOvuM0fKP – 12:52 AM

NEW for @MileHighSports
Quick Preview of Nuggets-Warriors, in which I don’t expect Jamal Murray to play, despite him being on pace to play the most games in a season since 2018-19.

More on this storyline
Malone took issue with the perception that the Nuggets are opting to rest Jokic and Murray, especially against teams that they are competing against for Western Conference playoff seeding. “I think that’s just a bunch of bulls—,” Malone said. “I mean, in the last 10 years, Nikola Jokic has played the second-most games in the NBA. Ten years. And the guys in that top 10, none of them are superstars. “So if Nikola is not playing, it’s not because he’s sitting. It’s not because he needs rest. It’s because he’s hurt and he’s trying to play through things that most wouldn’t. We’re at a point right now where we have to do what’s best for not just Nikola, but for all our guys, as we move forward and try to close out this season.” -via ESPN / March 19, 2025
Tim MacMahon: Sources: Nuggets are leaning against playing Nikola Jokic (elbow/ankle) and Jamal Murray (ankle) vs. Lakers tonight as they deal with nagging injuries. Murray just wrapped up an early pregame workout and was struggling to move while playing 1-on-1 with an assistant coach. -via Twitter @espn_macmahon / March 19, 2025
Vinny Benedetto: Nuggets announce Aaron Gordon will play tonight at Golden State. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Christian Braun are out. -via Twitter @VBenedetto / March 17, 2025
