Nuggets announced! Goodbye, Jokic! Another supergiant injury in the NBA

Nuggets away game against the Rockets, Jokic didn't play again......

Counting this campaign,Due to an ankle injury, Jokic has been exempted from four consecutive gamesThe last time this happened was back in November 21, three and a half years ago.

Almanza, a reporter for the Thunder team, said: "Jokic has been out for four consecutive games, while the Thunder have locked up the first place in the West early, and the MVP battle is over.”

This statement is definitely not a disgrace to Alexander, but it may be the case.

So far this season, Jokic has played in 62 games, averaging 29.1 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game, shooting 57.5% and 41.3% from the field. Alexander played in 67 games, averaging 32.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1 block per game, shooting 52.8% and 37.4% from the field.

Alexander's personal data is on par with Jokic, but he has won both attendance and team records, with the Thunder currently 58-12 and the Nuggets 44-27 in third place in the West.

And the Nuggets with Jokic's injury, there is no clear timetable for return, and the next rout may be encountered, not to mention the third in the West, and even fall out of the playoff area, you must know that they are only 3.5 wins ahead of the 7th Clippers, the gap is not small but not big, and it is definitely not a safe range.

In the past two games, the Nuggets lost to the Lakers 108-120 and the Trail Blazers 109-128.

Yes, without Jokic's Nuggets, they all have to let the Trail Blazers, who are 12th in the West, press on the ground and rub wildly.

This is directly related to the Nuggets' poor defense this season, ranking 19th in the league in defensive efficiency of 114.8 so far, and 8th in the league with 112.3 last season.

When Jokic is around, the Nuggets can use his individual ability to fight opponents; Now that he is gone, there is no offense or defense, and it is not surprising to lose or even lose miserably.

If the Nuggets still compete in the playoffs at the level of defense in the middle and lower reaches of the league, the championship will be a dream, and no matter how good Jokic is, it will not help.
