Jokic’s Surprise Start Against Spurs Sparks Award Race Drama as Wemby Sits Out

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Three-time MVP Nikola Jokic will start for the Denver Nuggets in their regular-season finale against San Antonio on Sunday night for his 65th game played to qualify for NBA awards.

Spurs All-Star Victor Wembanyama is sitting out the game after reaching eligibility in his previous game.

Jokic has played in 64 games and was listed as questionable with an injured right wrist.

Denver needs a victory over the Spurs on Sunday to secure the third seed in the Western Conference. A Nuggets loss, coupled with a win by the Los Angeles Lakers, would drop the Nuggets to fourth and move the Lakers to third.
