Denver Nuggets' star players Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have been cleared to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, despite injury concerns. The team released a final injury report, listing both Jokic and Murray as available for the high-stakes matchup. Jokic, the three-time NBA MVP, was listed 'probable' with a left wrist sprain, a condition he has been dealing with since November. He has appeared in all 20 games for the Nuggets this season, averaging 29.0 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 11.1 assists. Murray, on the other hand, has been dealing with a right ankle sprain he suffered during the Nuggets' 31-121 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. He initially tried to play through the injury but was eventually forced to sit out the fourth quarter. Denver coach David Adelman expressed concerns about Murray's absence, saying it would be a significant loss offensively. However, with Murray cleared to play, the Nuggets will look to bounce back from their fourth consecutive home loss. The Nuggets have been struggling recently, going 4-4 over their last eight games. However, with Jokic and Murray back in the lineup, they will look to regain their momentum and get back on track.
