DENVER — Nuggets center Nikola Jokic sat on the sidelines, dressed in a peach-colored suit with a flamboyant dress shirt. He made for quite a colorful bench ornament.
And the NBA’s reigning, two-time MVP, out with an injured left hamstring, was able to relax and enjoy his Friday night off as his teammates dunked Indiana, 134-111, at Ball Arena.
And Jokic, the league’s master at triple-doubles, got to observe his buddy, Jamal Murray, notch the first triple-double of his career. The guard finished with 17 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds.
