The Denver Nuggets are at home on Wednesday night as they face off against the Milwaukee Bucks in an interconference matchup.
Denver enters Wednesday’s contest amid a recent rough patch as they have dropped six of their last 10 games and are coming off a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
They will now look to get back on track against a Bucks team that has also lost six of their last 10 contests.
Ahead of Wednesday’s game, the Nuggets made a massive announcement regarding the availability of their superstar center Nikola Jokic.
Denver announced that Jokic is available and will play against Milwaukee after missing the Nuggets’ last five games due to an ankle and elbow injury.
Injury Update ahead of tonight’s game against the Bucks:
AVAILABLE:
Nikola Jokić (Left Ankle Impingement)
Christian Braun (Left Foot Strain)
Michael Porter Jr. (Low Back Strain)

This is great news for the Nuggets who have struggled with injuries to their stars over the last few weeks and have missed Jokic in the starting lineup.
Denver also announced that Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon will also play in Wednesday’s game after they were listed as questionable earlier in the day.
Of course, Gordon missed Monday’s loss due to calf injury management and an ankle sprain but he will return to the starting lineup against the Bucks.

Porter Jr. will also play despite being listed as questionable due to a lower back strain.
With these three players available, the Nuggets will have their starting five back together after Jokic, Jamal Murray and Gordon missed time over the last two weeks due to injuries.
Denver will also enter Wednesday’s game as the much healthier team as the Bucks have ruled out their superstar duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
Fans can catch Wednesday’s matchup between the Bucks and Nuggets at 9:00 p.m. EST.
