Nikola Jokic’s status for Denver Nuggets vs Memphis Grizzlies

On November 20, 2024By Littum

After a very disappointing loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night, the Denver Nuggets get a rematch against them tonight. On Sunday night, the Nuggets did not have the services of Nikola Jokic available against Memphis.

Jokic has missed the last two games for the Nuggets due to personal reasons. It still hasn’t been revealed what those personal reasons were, but it was previously mentioned by Katy Winge that it’s nothing Nuggets fans should be concerned about.

Out of respect for Nikola’s wishes, we will not say more about the personal reasons why he is missing tonight’s game. I can confirm that he and his family are fine and there is nothing to worry about! https://t.co/lwmWd8Vxzh

The Denver Nuggets have officially listed Nikola Jokic as out against the Memphis Grizzlies due to personal reasons. Without Jokic on the court Sunday night, the Grizzlies blew out the Nuggets. Memphis will have their own fair share of injuries, with both Zach Edey and Ja Morant missing, but it looks like their team is far deeper than Denver’s. Tonight will be the third game in a row that Jokic is out for personal reasons.

Through 10 games this season, Jokic is averaging 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 11.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks on 56/56/84 shooting from the field. If anything, his numbers are even better than last season when he won the MVP. If it weren’t for voter fatigue, Jokic should easily be the early favorite for MVP again this season.

Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies meet at 8pm EST tonight.
