The Denver Nuggets are finally starting to find their footing in this tough Western Conference. With Jamal Murray possibly out for the entire season, there is additional pressure on the 2021 MVP Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets have had their ups and downs to begin their season, but seem to have found their stride. They beat the Miami Heat last night, to record their second straight win.

HC Mike Malone talks about a possible Nikola Jokic suspension
The Denver Nuggets, after finally getting some momentum, might lose it all if Nikola Jokic gets suspended. However, coach Malone doesn’t want to ponder much about the same. He claims to not give the same any thought, till he gets an official notice.

The Nuggets prepare to host the struggling Pacers team next. The Pacers are a fiesty team, and the Nuggets would need their MVP to handle them. Jokic, who has been averaging 25.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, and 5.7 assists this season, is pivotal for the Nuggets to win.
I guess we’ll have to wait for the NBA to take a decision about the same.
