Jokic (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Jokic is trending toward missing a sixth straight game for the Nuggets while nursing a left ankle issue. Denver will likely continue to lean on Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) if he's cleared to play against Milwaukee. If Gordon and Jokic cannot play Wednesday, the Nuggets may give Peyton Watson, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan more minutes on the floor.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Not playing Monday
Rotowire
Jokic (ankle) will not play Monday against the Bulls.
As expected, Jokic will be sidelined for a fifth straight contest due to a left ankle impingement. Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said Sunday that Jokic is expected to return at some point during Denver's five-game homestand that begins Monday, so the three-time NBA MVP could be back in action as soon as Wednesday against the Bucks. DeAndre Jordan could be in store for a second straight start Monday while Jokic is sidelined.

Rotowire
Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said that Jokic is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Bulls, but the center should be available at some point during the team's five-game homestand, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Finishes with 28 points in win
Rotowire
Jokic ended Friday's 131-126 win over the Lakers with 28 points (8-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 12-17 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 38 minutes.

Denver's inability to pull away from the short-handed Lakers is a cause for concern, and it's imperative for Jokic to play closer to his triple-double averages as Denver jockeys for playoff position.
