Sports

Denver Nuggets superstar center Nikola Jokic has been ruled out for Tuesday night’s home game against the Boston Celtics.

Jokic popped up on the injury report with an illness earlier Tuesday and was downgraded from probable to questionable before eventually being ruled out.

For the Celtics, Derrick White was also ruled out due to an illness.

Jokic has missed three games this season in November while on paternity leave for the birth of his second child. The Nuggets went 1-2 in those games.

A three-time MVP, Jokic is averaging 31.5 points, 13 rebounds and 9.7 assists for the Nuggets this season.
