The Denver Nuggets have unexpectedly added star center Nikola Jokic to their injury report ahead of their upcoming game against the Houston Rockets. The move comes as a surprise for the team that has relied heavily on the Serbian center's all-around production this season.
Jokic, who wears number 15 for Denver, was photographed participating in a practice session on November 6, 2026, ahead of the Nuggets' NBA game against the Indiana Pacers in Mexico City. The sudden addition to the injury report just days later raises questions about his availability for the Rockets contest.
The Nuggets have not specified the nature of Jokic's injury or his expected timeline for return. His potential absence would significantly impact Denver's offensive scheme, as the multiple-time MVP serves as the primary playmaker and scoring option for the Western Conference contenders.
