Nuggets Journal: Is Nikola Jokic’s poor shooting stretch cause for real concern? Jamal Murray says no: “Not every night’s gonna go your way”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:35:10 GMT

If Nikola Jokic is accepted by now as a bonafide unicorn whose name belongs on any timeline charting innovation across NBA history, then his visit to Los Angeles this week should be acknowledged as a true unicorn of a stat line. Or maybe more like a goblin.“I’ve never seen that before, and I don’t think I’ll ever see it again,” Michael Porter Jr. told Nuggets coach Michael Malone after Jokic shot 9-for-32 in a loss to the Clippers.It was the worst shooting game of the two-time MVP’s career accounting for both volume and efficiency (28.1%). Back home two nights later, he shot 9-for-26 in another loss, including a 1-for-10 start. Jokic’s superpower for years now has been his immunity to bad games. A “bad game” for Jokic usually still ends up in the ballpark of a semi-efficient 20-point double-double. He still makes teammates better. Still impacts winning. Even in Los Angeles, he produced his 114th career triple-double.Make no mista...
