Backup center Jonas Valančiūnas became the latest casualty in the Denver Nuggets' mounting injury woes, diagnosed with a right calf strain that will sideline him for at least four weeks. Injured during his first start replacing Nikola Jokić, this leaves the third-place Nuggets (23-10) relying on thin frontcourt depth for key upcoming games.
Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic has become the first player in NBA history to achieve 110 or more points, 40 or more rebounds, and 40 or more assists over three consecutive games. Despite the team's 1-2 record in that span, Jokic averaged 36.6 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 13.3 assists. This performance underscores his ongoing MVP-caliber season.

The Denver Nuggets have upgraded Nikola Jokic to active for their upcoming game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, following a left wrist sprain that had him listed as questionable. This positive update comes amid injuries to other key players, including Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson, who will miss the contest. Jokic maintains perfect attendance this season with impressive stats.
