Nikola Jokic's Elbow "Fine" After Loss To OKC
3 mins agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow) finished Sunday's loss to OKC with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. He also got after it on the defensive end by amassing three blocks and one steal. The three-time MVP injured his elbow early in the contest and slowed down the rest of the way. But head coach Michael Malone indicated after the game that Jokic was "fine," with the 30-year-old echoing the same with a bag of ice on his elbow. The Nuggets and Thunder will do it again on Monday night. But it sounds as if Jokic will be out there for the rematch. Still, fantasy managers could see his name on the injury report. If he can't suit up, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji will split time in the middle, although Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr., and Russell Westbrook should all benefit the most on the offensive end, even more so if Aaron Gordon (calf) can't play after exiting Sunday's loss with calf tightness.
