Nikola Jokic said the only thing he was able to do in quarantine was peloton. He said team provided one for him & he needed to sign up an account.
After using it, he said he thinks he’s going to buy one. His wife, Natalija, wants one.
Also said he played a lot of video games. – 12:16 AM

It was Nikola Jokic’s idea for Jamal Murray to miss that last free-throw and try for a basket with 3 seconds left in the 4th. Jokic called for that play. Aaron Gordon got a great look out of it. – 12:14 AM

Michael Malone said they found out 55 minutes before the game that Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray would be available. Said it was their decision and they felt good enough to play. – 11:43 PM

Jokic returns from COVID and plays 37 minutes, puts up 31-9-10 on 12/16 shooting, and is a +13 in a 2 point home loss to the worst team in basketball. – 11:36 PM

Nuggets are down 106-103 with 1:20 remaining in the game and somehow Nikola Jokic did not touch the ball at all on a possession that ended in a air-balled 3-pointer.
Detroit scores on the next possession. – 11:23 PM

A bit shocked to see Davon Reed here and not Christian Braun.
Jamal Murray stagger to have offense in this unit and try and get a spark and get him in a rhythm heading into the 4th. – 10:53 PM

People will say Jamal Murray has had a tough night but he is absolutely still recovering from being sick. You can he’s tired, he’s been hunched over in huddles, turning away and coughing or coughing into his towel. – 10:52 PM

Just as I was getting ready to give MPJ props, he botches that feed to Joker for a TO.
Still, he’s quietly had a really nice night. Already up to 18 points (7-of-12) w/ 7 rebounds and a couple nice blocks. Key, IMO, is only 1-of-4 from 3 … and he’s still making a big impact. – 10:49 PM

Jokic, in his first game in nine days after exiting health and safety protocols, has 20 points (9-11 shooting), 9 assists and 7 rebounds in 24 minutes. Absurd – 10:42 PM

The Nuggets welcomed back Jokic, Murray and Gordon and go into the half down 58-57.
Jokic has a line of 16 points, 7 rebs, 7 assists and Gordon added 12 points.
Detroit currently has the worst record in the league.
If you’re Malone, what’s your message to the team? – 10:19 PM

Nikola Jokic at the half: 16 points (7-9 FG’s), 7 rebounds, 7 assists. Aaron Gordon had a good first few minutes — Jokic has done everything since. – 10:18 PM

Jamal Murray is one of the best screeners for Denver. When you set great screens, a lot of the time you’re the one that ends up open, and he takes advantage of that all the time. That slip was so good. – 9:58 PM

Nikola Jokic got pissed at an official for a push he didn’t call while on offense, but then he takes a charge, then he shuts down a Marvin Bagley post-up. He’s going now. – 9:57 PM

That’s already Denver’s 13th second-chance point so far tonight.
CB saved one and it led to Bruce Brown’s 3-pointer. Joker saved that one and BB jammed it. – 9:46 PM

#Nuggets are living inside so far, already with 22 points in the paint after first quarter. AG has basically set up camp there. Joker with 6 points, 4 assists in 9 minutes. Denver already with 10 assists, too, but Bogdanovic carrying DET with 13.
29-28, Denver. – 9:35 PM

Jokic clearly fouled Bagley on the postup. Malone, with 6:06 in the 1Q, quickly challenges it.
He won’t win this. – 9:23 PM

Have already seen Jamal Murray with his hands on his knees a few minutes into this one. Coming out of health and safety protocol, would bet he’s the first sub out instead of MPJ as they monitor his minutes. – 9:18 PM

More on this storyline
Katy Winge: Coach Malone on Jokic and Murray being questionable, says they were upgraded because they’ve cleared protocols which doesn’t mean they’re going to play. Said the plan is to get them over to Ball Arena and see how they feel, how they’re moving, then make a decision. -via Twitter @katywinge / November 22, 2022
Harrison Wind: Nuggets just upgraded Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray (COVID protocols) to questionable tonight. -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / November 22, 2022
