Nikola Jokic's Final Status for Nuggets vs. Suns Game 4
An ironman during his time in the NBA, Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic has remained durable and available throughout a postseason that has seen so many stars go down. The two-time MVP is averaging 38.7 minutes per game in the Western Conference Semi-Finals, and will once again be available for heavy minutes in Game 4.
The Nuggets have released their injury report for this contest, and it is entirely clean. The only player listed on either side is Chris Paul, who remains sidelined with a groin injury. For Denver, durability has been one of their many strengths, and it is once again showing so far in the postseason.
Through 8 playoff games this postseason, Jokic is averaging 28.0 PPG, 14.3 RPG, and 9.0 APG on 50.3% from the field. His dominance has the Nuggets two wins from the Western Conference Finals, where they would face the winner of the Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers series.
Should the Lakers and Nuggets advance, it would be a rematch of the 2020 Western Conference Finals. Should the Warriors and Nuggets advance, it would be a rematch of last year's opening round. Denver lost both of those series, but the team has improved significantly since then, and would be an incredibly difficult opponent for Golden State or Los Angeles.
For now, the Nuggets are focused on getting a Game 4 win vs. Phoenix.
