Nikola Jokic's Status vs. Orlando Magic Revealed
The Denver Nuggets are facing the Orlando Magic on Friday night in the second half of a back to back, and superstar center Nikola Jokic will be available. Jokic hit the incredible game winning buzzer beater to defeat the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, and will be back in the lineup on Friday.
This is a tough back to back for Denver, having to travel from Golden State to Orlando after a hard fought comeback victory against the Warriors. That said, they do not have any of their starters listed on the injury report, which is great news.
A lot of teams have been resting star players on one half of back to back sets over the last several seasons, which is one of the reasons the NBA implemented their player participation policy, but Jokic has typically been a player who suits up whenever healthy.
Very rarely taking a game off, Jokic is almost always available for Denver, which is one of the biggest reasons they are so consistent. Leading his team to a huge come from behind victory on Thursday, which was capped off by his incredible game winner, Jokic will look to lead the Nuggets to another win on Friday.
Facing a solid Magic team, the Nuggets certainly have their work cut out for them in this game on the second night of a back to back.
