The Denver Nuggets have a clean injury report entering Game 3 vs. the Phoenix Suns, as Nikola Jokic and the rest of Denver's rotation will be healthy and available. With injuries to star players impacting several teams across the NBA, Denver has remained intact, led by their two-time MVP Nikola Jokic.

Jokic has been incredibly durable during his time in the NBA, playing 69 games this season, and at least 70 in every other season of his career. His co-star Jamal Murray suffered an ACL injury that held him out of the 2020-21 season, but he has done incredibly well to regain his pre-injury form since returning.

With Jokic and Murray available for Denver, the star duo has been giving Phoenix trouble in the Western Conference Semi-Finals. It was Murray who led the way in Game 1, and Jokic who elevated his play in Game 2 while Murray struggled to shoot the ball.

With the series now shifting to Phoenix, the Nuggets will have to maintain their same level of focus and intensity for Games 3 and 4. Looking to wrap this series up before heading back home, the Nuggets have an opportunity to take a commanding 3-0 lead on Friday night.

Led by their star duo, and backed by a roster that is deep, the Nuggets are looking for another win in Game 3 vs. the Suns.
