January 30, 2026
Nikola Jokic is listed as questionable on the injury report for Friday night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, setting up the possibility the Denver Nuggets center plays for the first time since suffering a knee injury on Dec. 29. Jokic has missed 16 games since limping off the floor just before halftime at Miami. He was diagnosed with a hyperextended left knee, with the Nuggets saying at the time the three-time NBA MVP would be re-evaluated in four weeks. ESPN first reported the plan for Jokic to play Friday. The knee injury interrupted one of Jokic’s finest seasons. He’s averaging 29.6 points, 12.2 rebounds and 11 assists.
