Will Nikola Jokic play tonight against the Indiana Pacers? Latest update on the Denver Nuggets star's injury report (February 24, 2025)

The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Indiana Pacers on Monday, February 24, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, but all eyes are on the injury report, particularly the status of reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. While Jokic isn’t listed on the injury report, his health remains a critical factor as the Nuggets navigate a challenging stretch with multiple key players sidelined.



Nikola Jokic will be playing tonight for the Nuggets. The Nuggets have five players on the injury report, including Aaron Gordon (calf) and Jamal Murray (knee), both listed as probable. However, the team will be without DaRon Holmes (Achilles), Vlatko Cancar (knee), and Peyton Watson (knee), all ruled out for the upcoming game. Jokic, who has been a consistent force for Denver, averaging 24.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 10.3 assists over the last 20 games, will need to shoulder an even heavier load in their absence.


Jokic’s dominance this season has been undeniable. He leads the Nuggets with 29.4 points per game, ranking third in the NBA, and his 12.7 rebounds per contest also place him third league-wide. His ability to elevate Denver’s offense, which ranks third in the NBA with 121.3 points per game, will be crucial against a Pacers team that allows 115.5 points per game (21st in the league).
The Pacers, meanwhile, are dealing with their own injury woes. Myles Turner (neck) and James Johnson (illness) are out, while Isaiah Jackson (calf) is sidelined for the season. Despite these absences, Indiana remains competitive, led by Pascal Siakam’s 20.5 points per game and Tyrese Haliburton’s playmaking, averaging 7.7 assists.


The game tips off at 7:00 PM ET and will be broadcast on FDSIN, ALT, and KTVD, with live streaming available on Fubo. Fans can also stay engaged by participating in daily fantasy leagues on FanDuel.

As the Nuggets aim to maintain their momentum in the Western Conference, Nikola Jokic’s health and performance will be pivotal. With Gordon and Murray likely available, Denver’s supporting cast must step up to alleviate the pressure on their star center.
