Draymond Green was a very late scratch from Thursday's game and Steve Kerr doesn't sound too concerned.
Nikola Jokic recorded 22 points (9-13 FG), 14 rebounds, and 16 assists for the Nuggets as they defeated the Warriors, 134-117, his 17th triple-double of the season and the 93rd of his career. Jamal Murray added 33 points, five rebounds, and eight assists for the Nuggets in the victory, while Stephen Curry tallied 28 points, five rebounds, and five assists for the Warriors in the losing effort. The Nuggets improve to 36-16 on the season, while the Warriors fall to 26-26.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone's news conference started a few minutes later than normal Thursday evening, as he, like the rest of the organization, awaited word on whether Denver would have any other All-Stars in Salt Lake City. The Nuggets came away disappointed, as neither Aaron Gordon nor Jamal Murray was named an All-Star reserve. The seven West reserves were Ja Morant, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Damian Lillard, Domantas Sabonis, Lauri Markkanen, Paul George, and Jaren Jackson Jr. It was Jackson's inclusion that was the most surprising.
