Nikola Jokic Collects Triple-Double And Ejection
3 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic recorded his first triple-double on Monday, but that won't be the headline coming out of this game for the 2021 MVP. With less than three minutes to go, Markieff Morris fouled the Serbian, who then, in turn, retaliated, knocking Morris to the floor. There was a several-minute injury delay on the court, and both players were eventually ejected. Before that, the Joker was in classic Jokic form. In 33 minutes, he posted 25 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks, and two steals. Managers should prepare for the three-time All-Star to receive a suspension because of this incident. He may miss games in Week 4 or later, depending on if he appeals, but the No. 1 pick in fantasy drafts will probably be on the sidelines for an undetermined amount of time. JaMychal Green, Zeke Nnaji, and Bol Bol are candidates for extra minutes if Jokic does miss time.
