Nikola Jokic Won't Play Against Trail Blazers
9 months agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Portland. The team has downgraded him from a questionable status. Jokic sits out only his third game of the season. With backup center Zeke Nnaji (groin) also unavailable, we should see DeAndre Jordan moving to the starting unit, while Peyton Watson could be in for a busy night as a small-ball center. Denver is still expected to dominate the matchup, giving bench guys like Watson a chance to make a significant mark in the game.
