Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Ruled out Friday

Jokic (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets, Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Jokic presumably injured his wrist in Wednesday's loss to the Heat, and was ultimately ruled questionable Friday as a result. The timing of his absence Friday is unfortunate, as he is coming off his most productive outing of the season. Juan Hernangomez and Darrell Arthur figure to be in line for a portion Jokic's usual minutes off the bench. His next opportunity to return will be Saturday against the Jazz.
