Three-time league MVP Nikola Jokic will miss the Denver Nuggets’ NBA Cup game at New Orleans on Friday night due to personal reasons.
The team listed the superstar center as questionable on Thursday. The Nuggets have not played since Sunday, when Jokic delivered his fourth consecutive triple-double with 37 points, 18 rebounds and 15 assists in a 122-120 home win against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Nuggets (7-3) have won five straight games heading into Friday’s clash with the Pelicans (3-9), who have lost six in a row.
Jokic, 29, is averaging 29.7 points and leads the NBA in rebounding (13.7) and assists (11.7) through 10 games. This will be his first missed game of the season.
