With the news today that Kevin Huerter is out with a labrum tear and dislocated left shoulder, it is worth noting that he sustained a similar injury in 2019.
He missed 11 games with almost identical slap-down contact when Jokic bailed out and raked him across the left forearm. pic.twitter.com/Rie4r7Jhw4 – 1:52 AM

NEW for @MileHighSports
The Nuggets went to battle with a physical Knicks team, and the starters absolutely came to play.
On Jokic’s magic, MPJ’s hot shooting, and Denver’s inevitability.

Nikola Jokic records another triple double.
He has 18 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and there’s still 8:10 left in the 3rd quarter.
On an unreal run right now.
This is also probably his best passing game of his career! – 10:30 PM

At the half: Nuggets 61. Knicks 56
Slow-paced game but the Nuggets big 3 has been sensational to start.
Jokic is already near a triple-double with 16p/10a/9r
Murray leads all scorers with 17 pts and MPJ added 15 ts.
If you’re Malone, what’s your message to the team? – 10:08 PM

Gonna be interesting to see how Thibodeau handles Hartenstein’s minutes restriction tonight. The coach clearly wants him to go against Jokic since Precious Achiuwa is probably not a good matchup against the MVP. – 10:00 PM

Josh Hart on trying to stop Jokic:
“It’s just one of those guys you can’t speed up. You play tough defense. He throws up some majestic 35-footer and somehow makes. .. ..Obviously we just have to be physical and have great ball pressure on him. Then pray.” – 1:57 PM

In much the same way that Steph Curry influenced a generation of guards by shooting a higher frequency of 3-pointers and from further out, Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is now the most dominant and entertaining player on the planet, and he’s made passing cool for big men. “You look into the grassroots programs, a lot of these younger kids now, they’re really working on their multi-skill set to be able to play all five positions,” Hoiberg says. “Because that’s where our game is going is positionless basketball, especially in the NBA.” “Every NBA team plays some form of five-out,” says Alabama first-year assistant coach Ryan Pannone, who was a G League coach for three seasons and then a New Orleans Pelicans assistant in 2022-23. “Some teams are playing a higher percentage of five-out offense, but every team is in some way shape or form.” -via The Athletic / March 20, 2024
