The Denver Nuggets' scheduled trip to Mexico City has hit a significant snag with six players listed as questionable, headlined by three-time MVP Nikola Jokic. The injury report casts uncertainty over the team's availability for the international fixture, which is part of the NBA's global games initiative.
Jokic, the cornerstone of Denver's offense, joins five teammates on the questionable list, though the specific nature of their ailments was not detailed in the initial report. The situation mirrors the physical toll evident during the Nuggets' 2025 playoff run, where Jokic and Jamal Murray were heavily relied upon in a second-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Mexico City game represents one of the league's marquee international events, and the potential absence of multiple key contributors would significantly alter the competitive balance and fan experience. The Nuggets' medical staff will likely evaluate the listed players up until game time before final determinations are made.
