The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Indiana Pacers in a critical matchup as they push for playoff positioning, and the latest injury report brings mixed news for fans. Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic is fully healthy and ready to play, while star guard Jamal Murray remains questionable with a right hamstring injury.
Will Nikola Jokic play tonight? Denver Nuggets injury report for tonight’s game against the Indiana Pacers (April 6, 2025)
Nikola Jokic, who recently missed six games, has returned to dominant form, averaging 29.8 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game. His absence exposed Denver’s offensive struggles, but his presence tonight gives the Denver Nuggets a major boost. "If you didn’t know that Nikola won three MVPs, and I put Player A and Player B on paper … the guy that was averaging a triple-double, the guy that is top-three in the three major statistical categories, things that no one has ever done, he wins the MVP 10 times out of 10," Nuggets coach Michael Malone said, defending Jokic’s MVP case.
Murray’s status is less certain. He has missed the last four games, and Malone hinted at caution regarding his recovery. "I’m just gonna defend him for a second. Because he’s not 100% healthy," Malone said after a recent win. "I thought about shutting him down at halftime. Because I’m watching him out there, and I know that’s not the Jamal Murray that I watch when he’s playing healthy."
With Murray potentially sidelined, the Denver Nuggets will likely start Peyton Watson and Christian Braun in the backcourt, alongside Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr., and Nikola Jokic. The Pacers, already playoff-bound in the East, will be without Pascal Siakam, giving Denver an opportunity to capitalize.
Denver’s playoff hopes hinge on maintaining momentum, and Nikola Jokic’s availability is a major relief. However, Murray’s absence could test their depth in a tight Western Conference race. Tip-off is set for tonight at Ball Arena.
