On Tuesday night, the Denver Nuggets are playing the Dallas Mavericks in Texas. Nikola Jokic had five points, nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal while shooting 2/2 from the field and 1/1 from the three-point range in his first 17 minutes of playing time.

The Mavericks host the Nuggets, with Denver looking for a second-straight win in Dallas. Nikola Jokic's status is up in the air as he battles an illness.

Ahead of the start of the Denver Nuggets vs Dallas Mavericks showdown at the American Airlines Center, let's take a look at the injury report of Nikola Jokic.

Jamal Murray’s season-high scoring night came on the heels of Michael Malone almost shutting him down at halftime in Denver’s previous game on Sunday.

That hot start for Murray only continued as he helped extend Denver's lead to 27-12. Peyton Watson hit a three, and Jokic hit his first shot of the game as the Nuggets took a 32-1
