The Nuggets’ best player, Nikola Jokic, assisted, but without scoring – Denver beat the Clippers in Los Angeles 126:115.
Nikola Jokic was on the court for the first time since the infamous end of Serbia at Eurobasket. Last season’s NBA MVP didn’t push himself much because of his hand injury, and that is best reflected in his performance – he shot twice, missed both times, but handed out seven assists.
Despite the fact that the Serbian representative spent 15 minutes on the floor, the Denver basketball players managed to defeat the LA Clippers – it was 126:115. As many as eight Nuggets basketball players had a double-digit scoring performance – Ish Smit was the most effective with 15 points. Nick Powell stood out for the defeated home team with 34 points.
Denver will play another match before the start of the NBA league, the rival will be Golden State – the strongest basketball league in the world starts on October 19.
