ESPN provides a laughable reason for why Nikola Jokic could be playing hurt

Related Topics: Nikola Jokic

It's no secret Nikola Jokic isn't playing his best basketball. There are reports that he's hurt his right wrist, causing him discomfort that led to the recent uptick in turnovers and "poor play." However, ESPN's headline for their video claiming Jokic is playing through an injury so he's still eligible for postseason awards is laughable.

"Is Nikola Jokic playing injured so he’s eligible for awards?" What's funny is that he was just interviewed about the topic of winning a championship, and he said that's his goal. Not an MVP. He's not about the individual award.
