Nikola Jokic’s Injury Status for Nuggets vs Kings
After a disappointing loss against the Boston Celtics, the Denver Nuggets have a chance to push themselves back toward the second seed against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.
Currently, Denver is dealing with a plethora of injuries, but the situation seems to be getting worse. They may be entering Wednesday’s game against the Kings without their most important player.
The Denver Nuggets listed Nikola Jokic as questionable against the Sacramento Kings due to left ankle inflammation.

It’s been very rare for Jokic to miss basketball games throughout the majority of his career, including this season; Jokic has played in 55 out of 61 total games this season. Through those 55 games, Jokic is averaging 28.9 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.4 assists, and 1.8 steals on 58/44/82 shooting from the field.

What Jokic is doing this season is arguably better than anything he’s done during his three MVP seasons. However, as long as the Oklahoma City Thunder are the first seed, it feels like it’s a safe bet to predict Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the 2025 NBA MVP.
Whether or not Jokic plays, the Nuggets have to take the Sacramento Kings very seriously. The Kings are currently on a four-game winning streak and have found newfound life after trading for Zach LaVine. The Nuggets currently have a 2-0 regular season series lead over the Kings.
The Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings face off at 9:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday.

Nikola Jokic’s Brutally Honest Statement on Luka Doncic Trade to Lakers
Firefighters say a car crash was the cause of a large fire that broke out north of the Denver International Airport on Saturday afternoon.
The Brighton Fire Rescue District says a vehicle was traveling through the area of E. 120th Avenue and N. Watkins Road around 2 p.m. when it crashed. Fortunately, the people inside the vehicle did not suffer serious injuries, but the fire department says the vehicle’s catalytic converter caught the nearby grass on fire.
The 120 Fire quickly grew, and firefighters responded with engines, brush trucks and water tenders to attack it from multiple sides. Multiple agencies responded to assist as the winds continued to push the fire across the grassland.
It covered around 237 acres by the time firefighters brought it under control around 3:30 p.m. BFRD says firefighters continued to put out hotspots and monitor a large cottonwood tree that was smoldering nearly 30 feet up the trunk.
With Independence Day approaching, the fire rescue district shared a reminder that a single spark can ignite a fast-moving grass fire. They added that aerial fireworks are illegal in Brighton and pose a serious fire risk in the current conditions.
