Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic doubtful to play vs. Bulls on Friday due to wrist injury

Nuggets coach Michael Malone said Thursday that Nikola Jokic is doubtful for Friday’s preseason game at Chicago due to a right wrist injury.

Jokic was limited in practice Wednesday as the Nuggets opted not to expose the wrist to any live contact.

“Nothing major,” Malone said.

Earlier this week, Jokic said his wrist felt “weird” after he spent the second half of Monday’s preseason opener on the bench with a wrap around his wrist.

Given that it’s the preseason, there’s no urgency to rush him into action.
