The Denver Nuggets face off against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night in what will be a very crucial matchup for both teams. Unfortunately, the anticipation for the matchup has been a bit ruined due to injuries.

Jokic hasn't slowed down this season, as he's averaging 29.1 points on 57.5 percent shooting with 12.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists. However, both the former second-round pick and fellow star Jamal Murray are out against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, via the team. Jokic has an elbow injury while Murray has an ankle injury.
