Denver Nuggets Suddenly Add Nikola Jokic to Injury Report Before Rockets Game

The Denver Nuggets added center Nikola Jokic to their injury report for the first time this season, listing him as questionable with a right elbow sprain ahead of Monday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. Jokic has played in all eight games this season for Denver, which holds a 5-3 record following a 114-102 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Mexico City.

Jokic is one of six Nuggets listed as questionable on Sunday's report, alongside fellow starters Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson, and Aaron Gordon, as well as DeMar DeRozan. Julian Strawther has been ruled out with a left knee sprain, leaving Denver potentially reliant on reserves such as Marvin Bagley III and Spencer Jones.
