Nuggets not concerned about Nikola Jokic's wrist injury
Michael Singer: Nikola Jokic didn’t make the trip to LA tonight, but there’s no longterm concern about the wrist injury that’s keeping him out vs. Clippers, I’m told. Doesn’t sound like anything serious.

Two nights at Crypto, two losses.
Clippers listing still, fall 115-103* to Denver sans Jokic.
Kawhi leads LA (22-22) with 24 points, four in the fourth, when the Clippers went without a real center for all but three minutes.

That’s five in a row and 15 of 18. The #Nuggets are surging.
115-103. Denver allowed just 45 points in the second half. And Nikola Jokic rested in Denver. – 12:33 AM

Painful loss for the Clippers as they fall to Denver with Jokic not playing. That one hurts. 115-103 the tally. Nuggets have the best record in the West. Clippers sit at .500. – 12:33 AM

No Jokic, no problem. Nuggets move to 3-0 vs Clippers this season after 115-103 win in LA.
Clippers have lost 7 of 8 and are back at .500 at 22-22. They have a noon tip vs Rockets Sunday.
Jamal Murray led Nuggets with 24/8. Denver now 2-2 this season without Jokic. – 12:32 AM

…oh yeah, Nuggets won without Jokic. That too.
Nice team win for Denver. Brought the energy from the tip and got better on defense as the game went on. – 12:31 AM

“Should Nikola Jokic win three straight MVPs” is fundamentally not the question. The question is “should Nikola Jokic be the 2022-23 MVP,” and if that happens to give him his third straight MVP, that’s incidental. Each year should exist in a vacuum. – 12:23 AM

Halftime rotations for the Nuggets as they trail the Clippers 58-57:
-MPJ: 14-2-2 with a block, lots of really impressive finishes
-Jamal: 13-3-2
-Nuggets with 16 assists as a team. AG leads with 4.
Really impressive performance from Denver without Joker IMO. pic.twitter.com/XQkjZsQumS – 11:11 PM

Would not have guessed that Denver still would’ve shot 66% with 10 assists in the first quarter without Nikola Jokic, but here we are. Tons of playmaking all over, from AG to Jamal to Mike to DJ.
Clips up 34-32. – 10:41 PM

The Nuggets remembering to pass without Jokic is nice. Making those shots is even better. Denver is filling all the offensive lanes so far, making sure the Clips can’t cheat off anyone. A non-Jokic offense is weird to see, but Denver’s committed to it so far. – 10:37 PM

No Jokic, no problem for a Nuggets offense currently shooting 70.6% FGs. Nuggets take 28-26 lead, and Clippers call timeout with 2:50 left in opening quarter.
All five Nuggets starters have 2 or 3 FGs. – 10:33 PM

Tonight’s a great test of what Denver’s No. 1 offense looks like without Nikola Jokic, its engine. Already seen some quality playmaking from point guard AG and Jamal. – 10:22 PM

Ty Lue says he’s more worried about how the Clippers play than adjusting to playing the Nuggets without Nikola Jokic. Lue says Aaron Gordon has “owned us” on offensive glass and that the Nuggets have “owned us.” Since Game 5 of the ‘ 20 semis, Nuggets are 10-2 against Clippers. – 8:23 PM

Here’s an idea for the Nuggets tonight: Start Vlatko Cancar at center vs. the Clippers. Replicate what you can of the offense without Nikola Jokic. – 4:26 PM
