As of 11 a.m. on Friday morning, the outlook on the Nuggets having Nikola Jokiu0107 available to play was as fuzzy as the flu that knocked the center out for a week was potent. All coach Michael Malone could offer from his crystal ball was guess of “very questionable.”
So, of course Jokiu0107 played.
If there were any remnants of the flu virus, no one noticed. The only thing sick was Jokiu0107’s game on Friday night as the Nuggets earned a split on their four-game homestand with a 119-99 win over the Boston Celtics at the Pepsi Center.
