The Nuggets have a number of players listed on the NBA injury report for Tuesday night's game against the Mavericks.
Starters for the 2025 NBA All-Star game were announced on Thursday night and the Denver Nuggets superstar center Nikola Jokić was named as a frontcourt starter for the Western Conference. Jokić will join Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers in the West frontcourt while Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder will man the backcourt for the West.

Jamal Murray led the way for Denver, scoring 45 points and dishing out six assists. While Murray’s performance was a great once, Nikola Jokić stole the show as he made NBA history in the game.
The Denver Nuggets defeated the Sacramento Kings 132-123, winning their fourth game in a row and 12th in their last 15 games. The Kings were 10-1 in their previous 11, and this ended up being a very hard fought victory that the Nuggets earned.
If Murray can build off his performance on Tuesday, the Nuggets will be a tough team to contend with in the playoffs.
The Nuggets vanquished the Heat in Jimmy Butler’s return from a seven-game suspension. Jamal Murray lit up everything in front of him. And Nikola Jokić had his 17th triple-double of the season. “I thought our guards did a hell of a job on [Tyler] Herro and [Duncan] Robinson,

Denver Nuggets' Jamal Murray is averaging 20.5 points per game and showing resilience post-ACL injury, contributing significantly alongside Nikola Jokic. With the team at 27-16, Murray's health is crucial for their playoff hopes.
