Nikola Jokic has been ruled out of Friday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans for personal reasons. Jokic was initially listed as questionable for the game.
Jokic is averaging 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 11.7 assists this season.
The Nuggets are 7-3 this season after beginning the season 0-2, largely due to Jokic having another MVP-caliber season. The Nuggets won’t play again until Sunday at the Memphis Grizzlies.
