Denver Nuggets star center Nikola Jokic is unlikely to play Friday against the host Los Angeles Clippers, ESPN reported.

The two-time reigning Most Valuable Player is dealing with a nagging injury to his right wrist.

The team listed the center as questionable in Thursday’s injury report.

Jokic, 27, originally sustained the injury during an Oct. 3 preseason game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

He is averaging 24.9 points, 11.0 rebounds and 9.7 assists, leading Denver in all three categories through 38 starts.
