Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Questionable to play Monday
Rotowire
Jokic (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Houston.
Jokic nearly had a triple-double in Saturday's 114-102 win over the Pacers. However, he's now in danger of missing his first game of the 2026-27 season due to a right elbow sprain. If Jokic isn't available to suit up, Marvin Bagley would presumably take his place in the starting lineup.

Jokic nearly ended with his fourth triple-double of the season, though it was another inefficient shooting night for the three-time MVP.

Rotowire

Those who invested in him with the first or second pick in drafts should feel at ease with their decision.

Jokic started the season with a mediocre performance, at least by his lofty standards. He still managed to chip in across all major categories, providing managers with a sense of reassurance. Up against the might of the Thunder, it's not a total surprise to see Jokic struggling, much like Victor Wembanyama did on opening night. Cristicism aside, another elite fantasy season seems inevitable, likely ending with a top-three finish in all formats.

Despite not looking for his shot, Jokic added to his highlight tape with a crafty behind-the-back pass along the baseline, which resulted in a Cameron Johnson three-pointer. The star big man is expected to retain a limited role throughout the preseason to preserve his health for the regular season.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: To sign extension next offseason
Rotowire
Jokic reiterated Monday that he intends to sign a new contract with the Nuggets next offseason, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.
"I'm going to sign next year, if they want me," Jokic said, adding that his decision to hold off on an extension this summer was purely business. The three-time MVP passed on a four-year extension worth $278 million and can become eligible for a five-year deal worth approximately $360 million next summer. Jokic has repeatedly expressed his desire to spend the remainder of his career in Denver, so his decision to delay a new deal appears financially motivated rather than an indication that he's considering leaving the Nuggets.

The 31-year-old averaged a triple-double for the second consecutive regular season in 2025-26, posting 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game while finishing second in MVP voting. Denver has reshaped the supporting cast around him this offseason, but Jokic remains the unquestioned centerpiece of the offense and should once again be among the first players selected in virtually every fantasy format in 2026-27.
