Is Nikola Jokic playing tonight against Suns? Latest on Nuggets superstar's availability for Christmas Day game (Dec. 25)

Nikola Jokic is set to play in the Denver Nuggets' Christmas Day matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday as he is not listed on the team's injury report. Jokic has remained healthy this season, though he has missed three of the Nuggets' 27 games due to personal reasons.

This will be Denver's second consecutive game against the Suns and Jokic played a pivotal role in their commanding 117-90 victory over Kevin Durant and Co. on Monday.

With point guard Jamal Murray unavailable, the three-time MVP delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 32 points in just 30 minutes on an ultra-efficient 12 of 17 shooting, including 4 of 6 from beyond the arc. He also added two rebounds and seven assists.

Nikola Jokic is once again performing at an MVP level this season, solidifying himself as the cornerstone of the Nuggets' quest for back-to-back titles. Recently, former Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett highlighted how Jokic’s unique ability elevates everyone around him, further emphasizing his value to the team.

"You can put four average people around (Jokic) and as long as there’s movement, a guy who can shoot, a playmaker, you got one who can rebound, he will make all four better," Garnett said on the "KG Certified" podcast.

"His IQ and feel for the game (are phenomenal)… When you put a player like that that make everybody better, it just illuminates the whole thing."

Jokic is averaging 30.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game this season.
