MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Denver Nuggets star center Nikola Jokic was declared out Tuesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, the third straight game he missed for personal reasons. The 7-foot three-time and reigning Most Valuable Player leads the Nuggets in points (29.7), rebounds (13.7) and assists (11.7). Denver has lost the two previous games — against New Orleans and to Memphis on Sunday — that Jokic did not appear.
