Bennett Durando of The Denver Post suggests that the Nuggets might need to prioritize health over their pursuit of the No. 1 seed.
Despite finishing with an impressive performance of 32 points and 10 rebounds on Friday night, Nikola Jokic played with his right wrist taped, indicating ongoing discomfort.
Coach Michael Malone acknowledged Jokic’s struggles, stating, “His wrist has been giving him a lot of trouble,” but praised his resilience.
Meanwhile, Jamal Murray remained sidelined for his fourth consecutive game due to an ankle injury. Malone expressed optimism about Murray’s return before the playoffs begin.
