Well, this is a shocker. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray won’t be suiting up tonight against the Lakers, and Nuggets fans are understandably freaking out. Jokic is dealing with a banged-up elbow and ankle, while Murray’s ankle is still giving him trouble. With the playoffs right around the corner, Denver isn’t taking any risks.
But let’s be real—this completely changes the game. The Nuggets rely on Jokic to run their entire offense. And without him and Murray, the pressure shifts to Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon to step up big time. Meanwhile, the Lakers are missing LeBron James, but you know they’ll be looking to pounce on this opportunity.
So, what happens now? Can Denver survive without their two best players, or is this the perfect opening for the Lakers to steal a crucial win? Either way, tonight’s game just got a whole lot more interesting!
