Nikola Jokic will not play against the Trail Blazers
10 seconds agoDenver Nuggets Center Nikola Jokic (back) has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against Portland. The team downgraded him from questionable status. Jokic misses only his third game of the season. With backup center Zeké Nnaji (groin) also unavailable, we should see DeAndre Jordan move to the starting unit, while Peyton Watson could have a busy night as a small-ball center. Denver is still expected to dominate the game, giving bench players like Watson a chance to make a significant mark in the game.
