Nuggets center Nikola Jokic will not play against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night, the team announced.
Jokic is dealing with a non-COVID illness and did not warm up before the game, which will be broadcast on TNT with an 8 p.m. tip. It’s the fourth game he has missed this season. The other three were in November for the birth of his second child.
The three-time MVP is averaging 31.5 points, 13 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game this season, and he’s shooting a league-leading 47.3% from the 3-point line.
Boston is without CU grad Derrick White, who is also dealing with an illness.
