The Denver Nuggets prepare for their Monday game with the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center. The 13-10 Nuggets team will take on the 13-13 Kings team after beating the Los Angeles Clippers 120-98 on Friday.
Ahead of the game, both teams have released their injury report. Nikola Jokic’s name is absent from the team’s latest injury report. That means the Nuggets’ cornerstone is fully fit to lead the charge.
However, Denver still has injury concerns heading into Monday’s contest. Jamal Murray, who has dealt with a lingering hamstring issue, is listed as questionable.
Christian Braun is also questionable due to a back injury, while Dario Saric remains sidelined with an ankle injury. Additionally, DaRon Holmes is out for the season with an Achilles injury, and Vlatko Cancar is still recovering from a knee issue.
On the Kings’ side, Devin Carter is out due to a shoulder injury, and Trey Lyles remains sidelined with a calf strain.

“Jokic was not known in Europe. He played in this small club in Serbia, and he’s one of those guys who did not care. Credit to Denver, they drafted him in the second round. Now those two guys [Luka and Jokic] have ruined all my beliefs all these years that you have to be athletic, you have to be fast,” Stojakovic said.
The Denver Nuggets selected Nikola Jokic with the 41st overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. Since then, the Serbian standout has guided the team to an NBA championship in 2023 and earned three league MVP awards along with a Finals MVP.
