NBA Note - Denver Nuggets Jokic, Nikola

Dec 13, 2017 - 9:27 AM C Nikola Jokic missed his sixth consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. Jokic, who hasn't played during the six-game road trip due to an ankle sprain, could return as early as Wednesday's game at Boston. "He's getting closer. He's definitely moving in the right direction," coach Michael Malone said. "The ankle is still very, very sore, but he's moving better. He's managing the pain, and whether he's available (Wednesday) night, we'll wait and see."
