Denver Nuggets superstar center Nikola Jokic missed Thursday's contest against the Phoenix Suns due to a calf injury. Unsurprisingly, without their best player, the Nuggets went on to lose to the Suns by a final score of 119-115 behind 29 points and seven rebounds from Kevin Durant.

Nikola Jokic, 28, is in his eighth year in the NBA, all as a member of the Nuggets franchise. He's averaging 24.8 points, 11.9 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game across 68 appearances this season (all starts).

The Serbian native is shooting the ball with great efficiency from behind the three-point arc in the 2022-23 campaign, at least by his standards — Jokic's current 38.5% three-point percentage is the third-highest of his pro career.

Expect the Nuggets to beat the Jazz on the road on Saturday if Jokic is in the lineup. After all, the Jazz have already been eliminated from the postseason and, thus, don't have a whole lot to play for. But with regard to the question, Is Nikola Jokic playing today vs. the Jazz, the answer is maybe.
