Nikola Jokic Fills Up Stat Sheet Versus Jazz
8 months agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic shook off hip inflammation to fill up the stat sheet against the Jazz in Tuesday's 111-95 win. He had a 28-point, 13-rebound double-double with seven assists, three steals, and a block. The former MVP hit both of his attempts from deep and finished with 12-for-20 overall shooting. On the downside, Jokic's stat line included five turnovers in 34 minutes, and he has been careless with the ball all month, averaging 4.5 turnovers for April. The hip issue doesn't appear to be affecting Jokic, as he's picked up 11 consecutive double-doubles. The Serbian superstar needs two more across the final three regular-season games to celebrate a new career high.
