On February 12, Beijing time, Jokic continued his MVP level performance, he single-core led the Nuggets this season to perform heroically, and is currently in sixth place in the West and is expected to advance to the playoffs. Now, according to Nuggets reporter Mike Singer, the Nuggets' two cores, Murray and Porter Jr., are expected to return before the end of the regular season, which is undoubtedly expected to become a dark horse for the three giants in the playoffs.
The Nuggets performed heroically in the 2020 playoffs, and they once fell behind 3-1 in the first two consecutive rounds, eliminating the Jazz and Clippers in a row, becoming the first team in NBA history to achieve such a miracle. The Nuggets lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals that season and failed to eliminate the championship team that eventually won the championship. As for Murray's mid-season serious injury reimbursement last season, which caused the Nuggets to stop in the Western Conference semifinals, they were swept by the Suns 0-4.
This season, the Nuggets' second-in-command Murray has not yet returned, Porter Jr. and Dozier have been reimbursed for the season, and successive injury blows have made the Nuggets' record fluctuate for a while. However, Jokic played MVP-level performance, especially the latest MVP list to the top, he led the Nuggets currently have a 30-25 record to rank 6th in the West, 1.5 wins ahead of the Timberwolves behind them, 4 wins ahead of the Clippers, and 4.5 wins ahead of the Lakers.
Now, according to Nuggets reporter Mike Singer, the two cores are expected to make an early comeback, and Murray has been recuperating for more than a year because of the torn CRUC and is expected to return before the end of the regular season. As for Porter Jr., who was originally reimbursed for the season because of his back injury, but Porter Jr.'s agent revealed that his recovery progress was ideal and he was extremely eager to return, which was not the case of being banned from jumping a few weeks ago, so he is also expected to return before the end of the regular season.
Once Murray and Porter Jr. return to Jokic, the Nuggets will reorganize the Big Three lineup, undoubtedly expected to impact the playoffs, and play a spoiler team role in the playoffs, and even hope to become a championship dark horse team.
